    Abstract

    The synthesis and utility of the 3,3-dimethyl-5-substituted-2-pyrrolidinone 'Quat' chiral auxiliary in stereoselective enolate reactions of attached N-acyl side chains combined with the mild and non-racemising conditions required for the ultimate removal of the chiral side chain is described. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
