Abstract

A novel and efficient synthesis of 4-substituted 2-oxazolidinones is described; the synthesis utilizes Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of appropriately substituted O-allylcarbamates and intramolecular cyclisation as key steps.

Keywords: chiral, substituted -oxazolidinones, asymmetric dihydroxylation, intramolecular cyclisation
