2-PHENYLOXAZOLINES AS CARBOXYLATE PRECURSORS - APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF ASYMMETRIC BRANCHED-CHAIN STRUCTURES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)79046-0

A synthetic approach to the title compounds is presented that features the asymmetric elaboration of a chiral, non-racemic oxazoline followed by a two-step oxidative ring cleavage of the heterocycle to a triamide for further transformation.
