摘要:
                                Diastereomeric amides produced via the decomposition of easily available (+/-)-7,7-dichlorobicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one by treatment with (+)- or (-)-alpha-methylbenzylamines were transformed into bicyclic lactam-aminals, which can easily be separated using the column chromatography on SiO2. The latter products lead to enantiomeric 3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-2-ones after the removal of the chiral auxiliary. Crown Copyright (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
