Asymmetric transformation of racemic 2-phenyl- and 2-chloroalkanoic acids via oxazolines into the corresponding optically active acids was investigated using (S)-phenylalaninol as a chiral auxiliary. The asymmetric transformation was performed by metalation of the oxazolines with butyllithium followed by protonation of the resulting lithiooxazolines. 2-Phenyl- and 2-chloroalkanoic acids were obtained in the optical yields of 29–53% and 45–73%, respectively, by the acidic hydrolysis of the chiral oxazolines thus formed. The mechanism of the asymmetric transformation was discussed.
