Abstract
Thiazolylalanine, in appropriately functionalized form, has been found to function as an enantioselective catalyst for an intramolecular Stetter reaction. Incorporation of the residue in a number of environments has resulted in a family of catalysts that promote the cyclization of a test substrate with up to 81% enantiomeric excess.
