Abstract
A procedure was developed for the stereocontrolled conjugate addition of dialkyllithiocuprates to an α,β-unsaturated lactam (3-phenyl-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c] oxazol-5(7a)-one) derived from D-pyroglutamic acid (D-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid). Formation of the corresponding enolates and treatment with alkyl halides, aldehydes or acetone gave α,β,γ-substituted pyrrolidinones and pyrrolidines of high optical purity.Keywords
