Enantiospecific alkylations of alanine

Reaction of ferrocenecarbaldehyde 3 with sodium (S)-alaninate followed by pivaloyl chloride generates (2S,4S)-2-ferrocenyl-3-pivaloyl-4-methyl-1,3-oxazolidin-5-one 5 (>98% de). Compound 5 undergoes stereospecific 4-alkylation with complete retention of configuration on treatment sequentially...
