title: Development of a new family of chiral auxiliaries.
abstract: A new family of chiral auxiliaries designed on a conformationally restricted version of (-)-8-phenylmenthol has been developed. Both enantiomers are available from an inexpensive synthesis conducted on multigram scale. A first application has showed comparable diastereoselectivity between the novel auxiliary and (-)-8-phenylmenthol.
