17. Professor J. Liebscher's group (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) has studied the alkylation of chiral 2-(sulfonamidomethyl)oxazolines and a manuscript concerning this work has been accepted for publication in Synthesis;, we thank Prof. Liebscher for this information. The alkylation of 2-(ω-aminoalkyl)oxazolines has also been studied: A. Rottman and J. Liebscher, Tetrahedron Lett., 1996, 37, 359.
18. The expected products of such reactions, 2-(α-aminoalkyl)oxazolines, are usually prepared by cyclization of appropriate peptide precursors; for recent examples, see: (a) C. D. J. Boden and G. Pattenden, Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36, 6153;

21. An interesting alternative approach, involving the reaction of an α-amino-electrophile and a metallated 2-methyloxazoline, has been described: T. Shono, N. Rise, F. Sanda, S. Ohi and K. Tsubata, Tetrahedron Lett., 1988, 29, 231.
