Decarboxylative Isomerization of N-Acyl-2-oxazolidinones to 2-Oxazolines
摘要:
N-Acyl-2-oxazolidinones are ring-opened by lithium iodide and decarboxylated in the presence of a mild proton source. Further reaction with an amine base provides 2-oxazolines. The transformation is general for oxazolidinones unsubstituted in the 5 position and occurs under mild conditions (25-50 degrees C). These results complement the existing methods for this transformation by allowing lower temperatures and/or avoiding metal catalysts.
Opticallyactive 2-aryl-1,3-oxazolines, such as aromatic carbocycles, heterocycle-binding 4-benzyl (or phenyl)-1,3-oxazolines and their 5-benzyl (or phenyl)-1,3-oxazoline isomers were successfully prepared through a bromotriphenylphosphonium salt promoted aziridine ring formation and ring opening sequential process involving tandem one-pot cyclization of chiral 2-amino-3-phenylpropanol or 2-amino-2-phenylethanol
