Abstract

Abstract Chiral N-(diethoxymethyl) oxazolidinones, prepared from the corresponding oxazolidinones by heating in triethyl orthoformate, can be used as organozinc carbenoid precursors for the direct enantioselective amidocyclopropanation of alkenes. The reaction is successful with a wide range of oxazolidinones and alkenes and proceeds with moderate to excellent yield and stereoselectivity. In most cases the trans/exo amidocyclopropane ...
