A diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolidinooxazolidines was achieved by a metal-free, base-promoted reaction of pyrrolidine and aromatic aldehydes under microwave irradiation. The rare functionalization of an sp3 CâH bond probably results from an in situ generated azomethine ylide that undergoes cycloaddition with aldehydes.

Seebach's proline-derived oxazolidinone 2d overcomes (S)-proline and is at least as efficient as (S)-5(pyrrolidin-2-yl)tetrazole in several organocatalytic aldol reactions examined. A quick exchange takes place between 2d and carbonyl Compounds that gives new bicyclic oxazolidinones, in equilibrium with the very minor active species (enamines). Maximum yields of the aldols (beta-hydroxy ketones) were achieved after 1-4 h when, with proline, they are attained after 30-48 h. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
1,3 Dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides with aromatic aldehydes. syntheses of 1-oxapyrrolizidines and 1,3-oxazolidines.
The application of cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2) as a neutral and heterogeneous catalyst for aldehyde-induced decarboxylative coupling of L-proline with triethyl phosphite and nitromethane is described. In addition, a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of the in situ generated 1,3-dipolar intermediate with benzaldehyde in the absence of a nucleophile is also reported. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
