Observations on the reaction of N-alkyloxazolidines, isocyanides and carboxylic acids: A novel three-component reaction leading to N-acyloxyethylamino acid amides
Abstract N-Alkyloxazolidines, readily prepared by condensation of the parent carbonyl compounds with β-aminoalcohols, were found to undergo three-component reactions with isocyanides and carboxylic acids to give N-acyloxyethylamino acid derivatives in good yield. The reaction allows the variation of substituents at five different sites in the products through suitable choice of reagents.
