  • Chiral oxazolidin-2-one is easily prepared from D-mannitol and demonstrated to undergo highly diastereoselective alkylation reactions via lithium imide Z-enolates of its N-acyl derivatives to afford ${\alpha}-branched$ products. Evans syn and non-Evans sy n aldol products were also selectively obtained using this new auxiliary in high diastereomeric purity by simply changing the stoichiometry of TiCl4 and the nature of the amine base. Also, this new auxiliary is employed in diastereoselective Staudinger-type ${\beta}-lactam$ syntheses. Using 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide as the dehydrating agent, the reaction of auxiliary tethered acetic acid with trans imines gave the desired ${\beta}-lactams$ with cis-selectivity.

  • The chiral amine auxiliary mediated stereoselective alkylation reactions of glycinamides 1-6 and 15-17 using phase transfer catalyst (PTC) for liquid-solid extraction are described. The secondary N-(diphenylmethylene) glycinamides 1, 2 and 3 give better selectivities and yields than tertiary N-(diphenylmethylene) glycinamides 4, 5 and 6. Alkylation of the glycinamide 1 and 2 using 18-Crown-6 as a PTC in toluene at $-40^{\circ}C$ gives best selectivities and yields. Alkylations of N-(4-chlorophenylmethylene)glycinamides 15, 16 and 17 under same PTC conditions give $\alpha$, $\alpha-disubstituted$ amino acid derivatives 18, 19 and 20 with low diastereoselectivities.
