The radical 1,4-addition of dimethylaluminium chloride and the polar 1,4-addition of higher dialkylaluminium chlorides to α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives are achieved with high efficiency and stereoselectivity by using a bicyclic carbohydrate oxazolidinone 1 derived from galactosamine as the chiral auxiliary.
