A Brønsted base-promoted diastereoselective dimerization of azlactones

A novel Brønsted base system for the diastereoselective dimerization of azlactones using trichloroacetate salts and acetonitrile has been developed. Desired products were obtained in good yields (60–93%) and with up to >19:1 dr after one hour of reaction. Additionally, the relative stereochemistr...
