N-Chloroformyl imidazolidinone derivatives of enantiopure amino acids may be
deprotonated to give remarkably well-behaved enolates with both nucleophilic and …

Imidazolidinone derivatives of a range of aromatic α-amino acids, on treatment with
phosgene and potassium iodide, undergo a mild Bischler–Napieralski-style …

Enantiomerically pure 1, 4-dihydroisoquinolin-3-one 1 was prepared in four steps with an
overall yield of 60%. Alkylation of the corresponding lactam enolate has been studied and …

A new procedure for the asymmetric synthesis of imidazolidines and vicinal diamines is
reported. The 1, 3‐dipolar cycloaddition between nonracemic p‐tolylsulfinimines and …

A diastereoselective synthesis of 3, 5-disubstituted indolizidines based on an intermolecular
addition of an allylsilane on an acyliminium ion derived from (S)-pyroglutamic acid is …

The reaction of iodides 1 and enantiopure β-amino esters 2 mediated by potassium
carbonate in acetonitrile at 65° C provides quinolizidinones or indolizidinones 3, together …

An enantioselective synthesis of biologically important imidazolidines has been achieved
via a tandem [3+ 2] cycloaddition/1, 4-addition reaction of azomethine ylide and aza-o …

The highly diastereoselective addition of lateral lithiated o-tolunitriles to sulfinimines
followed by treatment of the resulting sulfinamide with MeLi, hydrolysis, and reduction …

A highly enantioselective method for the synthesis of 4-alkyl substituted 1, 2, 3, 4-
tetrahydroisoquinolines is reported. The key step relies on the asymmetric synthesis of α …

Stereocontrolled N-acyliminium ion cyclisation of L-DOPA derived succinimide 5 has been
investigated. Addition of organolithiums to chiral non-racemic 5 yields oxoamides, which are …
