F. Fringuelli et al., [2.2]Paracyclophane-derived N-acylosazol-2(3H)-one as a suitable planar chiral auxiliary for the enantioselective synthesis of beta-hydroxy acids, CHEM LETT, (1), 2000, pp. 38-39
The synthesis of optically active (+)-(R)-[2.2]paracyclophano[4,5-d]-oxazol
-2(3H)-one is described. The aldol reaction of N-acyl derivatives of this p
lanar chiral auxiliary with beazaldehyde occurs with good diastereo- and en
antioselectivity.
