Abstract

The doubly diastereoselective conjugate addition of the antipodes of lithium N-benzyl-N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)amide to a range of enantiopure N-enoyl oxazolidin-2-ones has been used as a mechanistic probe to determine that the reactive conformation is the anti-s-cis form. The beta-amino carbonyl products resulting from these conjugate addition reactions are useful templates for further elaboration into an alpha,beta,alpha-pseudotripeptide. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
