Abstract
Abstract Treatment of 4-methoxy- and 4-phenylthio-2-oxazolidinones with a combination of cuprates and BF 3 results in smooth formation of 4-alkyl and 4-aryl derivatives in high yield. By this method, the titled compounds of biological interest are readily synthesized from ( 4S , 5S )-5-allyl-4-methoxy (or 4-phenylthio)-2-oxazolidinones stereoselectively.
