title: Stereoselective aldol reaction of glutarimides using pseudo C(2) symmetry.
abstract: The boron aldol reaction of beta-substituted glutaric imides bearing an oxazolidinone-based auxiliary proceeds with excellent diastereoselectivity; switching the tertiary amine employed between i-Pr(2)EtN or Et(3)N affords enantiomeric lactone product.
