Abstract
Chiral N-acylated imidazolidin-2-ones, readily available from aminoeth anols in three steps through the nucleophilic opening of oxazoline int ermediates, have been demonstrated to undergo highly diastereoselectiv e benzylations and methylations via their sodium enolates. In most cas es, the resulting products are highly crystalline, and the chiral auxi liaries can be readily recycled. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
