Addition of the triisopropoxytitanium enolate derived from N-protected tert-butyl glycinate to a chiral imine possessing a chiral dioxolane ring gave (3R,4S)-3-amino-ß-lactam exclusively, whereas the complete reversal of the diastereofacial selectivity was observed for the chlorozinc enolate which underwent si-facial attack to give the (3S,4R)-isomer as a sole product.
