Oxadiazinones are a family of chiral auxiliaries that have shown high diasteroselectivity with asymmetric aldol reactions. A persistent problem that occurs throughout several of the oxadiazinone systems is hydrolytic cleavage. Due to this issue, a new method for hydrolysis has been developed based on amine protecting group chemistry. Removal of the N4-substituent before hydrolysis may offer an advantage towards the success of hydrolytic cleavage at the N3-amide bond. After successful cleavage, the research will be directed towards the synthesis of a proposed hydroxyethyl isostere of a Human T-cell Leukemia (HTLV-1) protease inhibitor.
