Enantiomerically pure β-(4, 5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl)-substituted β-hydroxy-α-amino acids were synthesised stereoselectively by means of an addition reaction between (5, 5- disubstituted-4, 5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl)-carbaldehydes and (R)-(+)-2, 5-dihydro-3, 6- dimethoxy-2-isopropylpyrazine (Schöllkopf's reagent) as a chiral auxiliary. The addition gave mixtures of only two adducts with high diastereoselectivity. The steric configuration of ...
