Abstract

Abstract A highly selective oxidative palladium (II)-catalyzed (Wacker-type) cyclization of readily available allylic tosylcarbamates is reported. This operationally simple catalytic reaction furnishes tosyl-protected vinyl-oxazolidinones, common precursors to syn-1, 2- amino alcohols, in high yield and excellent diasteroselectivity (> 20: 1). It is demonstrated that both stoichiometric amounts of benzoquinone (BQ) as well as aerobic reoxidation ( ...
