title: Enantioselective synthesis of alpha-terpineol and nephthenol by intramolecular acyloxazolidinone enolate alkylations.
abstract: Enolate anions generated from norterpenyl bromides bearing oxazolidinone chiral auxiliaries at the chain termini underwent efficient, stereo-biased cyclizations to form 6- and 14-membered rings in novel synthetic routes to alpha-terpineol and nephthenol enantiomers.
