32. Under the standard conditions using 1,4-dioxane as solvent in the presence of activated powdered 4 Å molecular sieves, reaction of 1a provided 2a in 68% yield and 80% ee, accompanied by oxazoline in 20% yield and 80% ee. Control experiments confirmed that the oxazoline did not arise from product 2a. In TBME, the yield and ee of the oxazoline side product were depressed. The asymmetric synthesis of oxazolines from alkenes in up to 92% ee using a stoichiometric chiral nitridomanganese has been described; however, this is believed to proceed through rearrangement of the enantioenriched aziridine, which does not apply to meso N-acyl aziridines: M.
