Abstract

trans-2,5-Bis(methoxymethoxymethyl)pyrrolidine proved to be an excellent chiral auxiliary for the asymmetric acylation of the corresponding carboxamide enolates and the stereoselective Zn(BH4)2 reduction of the resulting 2-alkyl-3-oxo amides provided a useful alternative to asymmetric aldol reaction.
