TL;DR

The alkylation reactions of an amide enolate derived from a trifluoromethylated oxazolidine (Fox) chiral auxiliary occur with a complete diastereoselectivity and in good yields with various electrophiles.

Abstract

The alkylation reactions of an amide enolate derived from a trifluoromethylated oxazolidine (Fox) chiral auxiliary occur with a complete diastereoselectivity and in good yields with various electrophiles. This reaction provides a versatile and straightforward strategy for the synthesis of beta(2)-amino acids and gamma-amino alcohols in enantiopure form.
