Abstract

A 5-oxo-2-tetrahydrofuranyl derivative of an Evans auxiliary could be obtained through a previously unknown ‘rearrangement’ of the oxazolidinone moiety in an α-benzoxy-γ-aldehyde acyl oxazolidinone in 60-97% yields on treatment with a range of ­nucleophiles.

Key words

chiral auxiliaries - rearrangements - lactones - ring closure - tandem reactions

It is interesting to note that treatment of 6 in anhydrous THF at -78 ºC with 4 did not give any 5 at all but a complicated product mixture.
