This microreview presents the use of 1,3-oxazolidines, prepared from enantiomerically pure β-amino alcohols, as chiral inductors for the stereoselective transformation of adjacent prostereogenic C=C or C=O bonds. After a brief chronological presentation of the major advances in this field, a convenient synthesis of N-Boc-2-acyl-and -2-alkenyloxazolidines is presented, together with the use of these heterocycles in asymmetric synthesis. The important role played by the Boc group on the nitrogen of the heterocycle in these trans-
