description

The stereoselective synthesis of β-branched carboxylic acid derivatives was accomplished by conjugate addition of mixed organoaluminum reagents to chiral α,β-unsaturated N-acyloxazolidinones. Mixed organoaluminum reagentswere generated in situ by transmetalation of Grignard or organolithium compounds with methylaluminum dichloride. Efficient stereocontrol was achieved using different bicyclic glycosamine-derived oxazolidinones, yielding alternatively (R)- or (S)-configured β-branched carboxylic acid derivatives.
