title: Asymmetric synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolinones: application to the total synthesis of (+)-lennoxamine.
abstract: An anionic chiral auxiliary mediated asymmetric alkylation of carbamate 2 provides 3-substituted isoindolinones 4 in high ee. This methodology was used in the first asymmetric synthesis of (+)-lennoxamine.
