Kinetic resolution of 3-hydroxyalkanamides with good to high selectivities was achieved by benzoylation using copper(II) triflate and (R,R)-PhBox [2,2′-isopropylidenebis(4-phenyl-2-oxazoline)] as catalyst, which also mediated enantioselective tosylation of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)alkanamides with high efficiency.

Treatment of phenyl isocyanate with bis(iodozincio)methane gave a zinciomethylenated product, which acts as an amide-enoate equivalent. It did not react with an aldehyde efficiently, but gave the corresponding adduct in good yield in the presence of an aminoalcohol. Use of a catalytic amount of chiral aminoalcohol led the process to the catalytic asymmetric Aldol-type reaction.
