Abstract

Reaction of chiral α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives 2a-e derived from camphor pyrazolidinone 1 with thiols affords β-mercaptocarboxylic acid derivatives 3a-e with a wide range of stereoselectivities (up to > 90% de). The stereoselectivity as a function of Lewis acid is described. The auxiliary can be easily recovered from the Michael adducts under mild conditions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
