Comparison of several hydroxylamine-based electrophilic ammonia equivalents in the N-amination of 2-oxazolidinones revealed that O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)hydroxylamine (NbzONH(2)) and sodium hydride in dioxane is a superior reagent combination for this purpose. Practical preparations of a variety of chiral N-acylhydrazones by this method gave yields ranging from 45 to 95%. Methods for exchange or removal of the aldehyde component have been developed, making this a general route to chiral N-acylhydrazones of interest for asymmetric synthesis applications.
