Abstract

The usefulness of (S)-4-isopropyl-1-phenylimidazolidin-2-thione as a chiral auxiliary in stereoselective propionate and acetate aldol reactions is discussed. Further, the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-baclofen by acetate aldol reaction using the chiral auxiliary was demonstrated.

Key words

titanium - aldol reaction - asymmetric synthesis - chiral auxiliaries - stereoselectivity
