Th. Kim et Gj. Lee, L-valinol and L-phenylalaninol-derived 2-imidazolidinones as chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric aldol reactions, TETRAHEDR L, 41(10), 2000, pp. 1505-1508
The chiral N-propionyl-2-imidazolidinones were synthesized in three steps f
rom L-valinol and L-phenylalaninol and the aldol reaction of their boron en
olate with aldehydes proceeded with high diastereoselectivity. (C) 2000 Els
