An attempt to combine the oxazolidine synthesis (from N-methylethanolamine and heptanal) with the above 3CR also gave the desired product, albeit with reduced yield (13%).

In a total synthesis of the macrolidc antibiotic cytovaricin, the highly stereoselective addition of (47 ,5iS )-4-methyl-3-(1 -oxopropyl)-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one to benzyloxyacetaldehyde is one of the key steps giving the adduct which serves as the C, —Cfi unit in the target molecule95 ... 

A way to anh-configurated a-amino-/ -hydroxycarboxylic acids is opened by the aldol addition of oxazolidine amides 7a and 7b. The method1061 is illustrated by a synthesis of (2R,3R)-p-hydroxyleucine (9) which is available from the major diastereomeric adduct 8 (d.r. 92 8) upon successive treatment with 1 N HC1 (30 min). 5 N HCl (100 C, 12 h), and propylene oxide (reflux in ethanol, 30 min). 

PRACTICAL SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL CHIRAL ALLENAMIDES (R)-4-PHENYL-3-(l,2-PRO PADIENYL)OXAZOLIDIN-2-ONE... 

Enantiopure a-amino aldehydes are valuable synthons in natural product synthesis [57]. However, problems are often encountered with their configurational instability [58]. Aziridine-2-carboxaldehydes are also a-amino aldehydes and accordingly have a potential synthetic value. We found that M-tritylaziridine-2-carboxaldehyde 56 is a perfectly stable compound and therefore comparable to Garner s aldehyde (ferf-butyl 2,2-dimethyl-4-(S)-formyl-oxazolidine-3-car-boxylate). Aldehyde 56 can readily be prepared from aziridine-2-carboxylic ester 12 by the sequence shown in Scheme 42 [59]. 

In 2001, Braga et al. reported the synthesis of new chiral C2-symmetric oxazolidine disulfide ligands from (R)-cysteine and successfully applied them as catalysts in the asymmetric addition of ZnEt2 to various aldehydes (Scheme 3.23). In the presence of 2mol% of ligand, excellent enantioselectivities of up to >99% ee were obtained even with aliphatic aldehydes such as n-decanal or n-hexanal. These authors proposed that the active catalyst did not maintain its C2-symmetry during the reaction. The disulfide bond was probably cleaved in situ by ZnEt2. 

In 2002, Braga el al. employed a chiral C2-symmetric oxazolidine disulfide as a ligand for the enantioselective synthesis of propargylic alcohols by direct addition of alkynes to aldehydes (Scheme 3.64). Good yields but moderate enantioselectivities (<58% ee) were obtained for the enantioselective alkyny-lation of aldehydes in the presence of ZnEt2. 

Enantioselective additions of (3-dicarbonyl compounds to (3-nitrostyrenes have been achieved using to-oxazolidine catalysts. This method was used in an enantioselective synthesis of the antidepressant drug rolipram.325... 

Another synthesis of 5-methylene-l,3-oxazolidin-3-ones can be achieved using Au(I) to catalyze the cyclization of A-propargyl carbamates 160. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions and was applied to a large number of compounds <06SL2727>.
