Abstract

Seven chiral analogues of tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) were synthesized in order to investigate and compare their ability to achieve asymmetric induction in base mediated reactions with acetophenone and trifluoroacetophenone. Acid hydrolysis of the intermediate 2-oxazolines (10 and 11) gave optically active α-hydroxy aldehydes (12 and 13).
