Abstract

Phenyltellurinyl trifluoroacetate in combination with ethyl carbamate and boron trifluoride-diethyl ether reacted with alkenes in refluxed 1,2-dichloroethane, regio- and stereo-selectively giving oxazolidin-2-ones in high yields. ... Oxazolidin-Zones are an important class of heterocyclic compounds with wide application. The most common syntheses use as starting materials the corresponding cis-0- amino alcohols, which are often difficult to obtain. 1 The route from alkenes gives ...
