alpha-Silyloxy and alpha-alkoxy aldehydes (propanal derivatives 1-4), when treated with proline in DMSO-d(6), give oxazolidinones rather than enamines. In fact, the relative trend is much stronger than that of all other carbonyl compounds examined, including simple aldehydes, alpha-branched aldehydes, alpha-(alkylthio)aldehydes, and standard ketones. For 1-4, the high prevalence of oxazolidinones prevents or delays the partial racemization of the alpha-stereocenters. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
