Popis: The irradiation of the title compounds [( Z )- 1 ] having ( S )-(+)- sec -butyl, (−)-mentyl and related chiral auxiliaries in methanol and 1,2-dichloroethane containing 2-(diethylamino)ethanol afforded chiral auxiliary-substituted (4 S ,5 S )-, (4 R ,5 R )-, (4 R ,5 S )- and (4 S ,5 R )-4,5-dihydrooxazole derivatives ( 2 ) along with ( E )- 1 . It was found that the photoinduced electron transfer-initiated cyclization of 1 gives either of the two diastereomers for cis - 2 and trans - 2 in diastereomeric excess whose value varies from 6% to 81% depending on solvent and chiral auxiliary.
