Abstract

An asymmetric aldol reaction by memory of chirality is reported with a substrate control of stereoselectivity by aldehyde and rationalized. Starting from l-alanine, several diastereopure and enantioenriched β-hydroxy quaternary α-amino acids have been obtained in three steps. The initial chirality of l-alanine is memorized through the dynamic axial chirality of tertiary aromatic amide.
