Abstract

The resolution of a series of active esters (derived from acetyl mandelic acid) using an equimolar combination of quasi-enantiomeric oxazolidin-2-ones is discussed. The levels of diastereoselectivity and the facial selectivity were found to be dependent on the structural nature of the pro-leaving group.
