✦ Synopsis
Ethyl 4,4-dimethylpyroglutamate has been used as a chiral auxiliary for ~,[3-unsaturated acids in Michael addition reactions. The conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to the amides in the presence of copper iodide, tetramethylene diamine (TMEDA) and trimethylsilyl chloride, proceeded with high yields and excellent stereoselectivities, yielding after hydrolysis enantiomerically pure [3-substituted carboxylic acid derivatives.

Enolates I, derived from the N-propionyl derivative of the 'quat' chiral auxiliary (S)-ethyl 4,4-dimethyl pyroglutamate 4 undergo highly stereoselective aldol reactions, which upon hydrolysis and removal of the chiral auxiliary yields the (2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid 9 in homochiral form
