The general applicability of a four-component condensation for the formation of N-acyl-β-aryloxyprolines has been demonstrated in several model studies. The relative stereochemistry of the diastereoisomers obtained has been assigned from 1H n.m.r. studies, and confirmed by an X-ray analysis of one of the stereoisomers.
