Asymmetric functionalization of a chiral non-racemic oxazolidine ester enolate. A new route towards the preparation of quaternary serine esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)00026-5

A new route towards the preparation of enantiomerically pure quaternary serine esters is described. The key step involves the diastereoselective functionalization of an oxazolidine ester enolate having an exocyclic chiral appendage. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
