The incorporation of a gem-dimethyl group at the 5-position of a chiral oxazolidinone biases the conformation of the adjacent C(4)-stereodirecting group such that the gem-dimethyl-4-iso-propyl combination mimics a C(4)-tert-butyl group, providing higher levels of stereocontrol than a simple 4-iso-propyloxazolidinone. The generality of this principle is demonstrated with applications in stereoselective enolate alkylations, kinetic resolutions, Diels-Alder cycloadditions and Pd-catalysed asymmetric acetalisation reactions.

Racemic (E)-α-bisabolene (E)(1) was synthetized starting from 4-methyl-3-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid (3) by a reaction sequence involving the Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between the (E)-2-methyl-1-alkenyltrimethylstannane 8 and 3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl acetate (9). Three different procedures, in which a common precursor was used as key intermediate, were tested for the synthesis of racemic (Z)-α-bisabolene (Z)(1). The best one, which involved the reaction between bromide 18 and lithium dialkenylcuprate 19, afforded a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-1 in a 93:7 molar ratio, respectively. Finally, racemic β-bisabolene (2) was synthetized by a simple reaction sequence involving the Zr-promoted methylenation of ketone 22 prepared from 3.
