[GRAPHICS]
The 1,3-oxazine route to enantiopure beta-amido aldehydes was investigated.
Heterocycloaddition of the N-acyl imine 1 with (R)-O-vinylpantolactone pro
vided the stable dihydroxazine 4c. High diastereocontrols were observed whe
n using Yb(fod)(3)-catalyzed or SnCl4-mediated conditions, thus leading aft
er quantitative hydrolysis to (R)-N-benzoyl-3-phenylpropanal with >98% ee.
