Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)92087-2

The addition of allylmagnesium chloride to chiral, non-racemic α,β-epoxxyimine (2) is highly diastereoselective, and the facial selectivity can be controlled by the use of BF3*Et2O; Addition of vinylmagnesium bromide in the presence of this Lewis acid als
