J. Mulzer et al., Chiral acetals as stereoinductors: Diastereoface selective alkylation of dihydrobenzoxazine-derived amide enolates, J ORG CHEM, 65(20), 2000, pp. 6540-6546
Novel dihydrobenzoxazine-derived acetals of type 3 have been developed for
asymmetric C-alkylations of propionyl amide enolates. High stereoselectivit
ies are obtained for amides 15 and 22 which are rationalized in terms of in
tramolecular metal chelate formation.
