Notes:
The scope of the readily available (4R,5S)-1,5-dimethyl-4-phenylimidazolidin-2-one (4) and its 4-cyclohexyl analogue 6 as practical, efficient chiral auxiliaries has been demonstrated. The enolate chemistry of their N-acyl derivatives exhibits features which recommend their use in asymmetric synthesis. The stereoselective boron-mediated aldol as well as alkylation and acylation results are presented. The steric control benefit derived by conversion of phenyl to cyclohexyl is highlighted.
