isocyanatomalonate diester with an aldehyde in the presence of a thiourea catalyst. The resulting chiral 4-carboxyl oxazolidinones are the equivalent of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids bearing a tri- or tetrasubstituted carbon center at their α position. With this in mind, this procedure was successfully applied to the first total synthesis of mycestericin C, which was completed in 12 steps and represents one of the shortest
