The condensation of L‐cysteine with enantiomerically pure aldehyde 2a and 2b afforded a mixture of 2‐substituted thiazolidine diastereomers 1a‐b and 1c‐d, respectively. The present paper deals with the use of nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) in determining the absolute configurations of the stereocenters.
