title: Use of optically active cyclic N,N-dialkyl aminals in asymmetric induction.
abstract: [reaction: see text]Cyclization of the optically active ketone N,N-dialkyl aminals A affords the diastereomer B as the major product with diastereoselectivities ranging from nearly 1:1 to essentially 100:0 depending on the cyclization studied.
