AI Article Synopsis

  • A new and quick method for creating oxazolidin-4-ones has been developed using α-bromoamido alcohol, KNaCO3, water, and Michael acceptors.
  • This process involves a unique molecular rearrangement that hasn't been reported before.
  • The method is versatile, working well with various substrates and achieving high regioselectivities.

Article Abstract

An original and rapid domino reaction for access to oxazolidin-4-ones is presented. Simply by heating α-bromoamido alcohol in the presence of KNaCO3 and water with readily prepared Michael acceptors, an unprecedented molecular rearrangement is generated. This new methodology enables the hitherto unreported synthesis of functionalized oxazolidin-4-ones. The process was proved to be compatible with a wide variety of substrates, and high regioselectivities were achieved.

The cycloaddition of arenecarbaldehydes and α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenones with gem-difluoro-substituted azomethine ylides, generated from N-benzhydrylideneamines and difluorocarbene, occurs regioselectively to give, after hydrolysis, oxazolidin-4-ones. The primary cycloadducts of trifluoroacetophenones, 4,4-difluoro-5-trifluoromethyloxazolidine derivatives, are sufficiently stable to be isolated in reasonable to excellent yields. The results of correlation analysis and DFT calculations reveal a non-pericyclic step-wise mechanism of the reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • A highly selective Lewis base-catalyzed reaction is introduced, allowing for the efficient synthesis of oxazolidin-4-ones through a [3+2] cycloaddition involving ammonium enolates and oxaziridines.
  • The use of enantioenriched oxaziridine creates a matched/mismatched effect with the catalyst, enabling the production of either syn- or anti-stereodefined compounds with high selectivity and yield.
  • The resulting oxazolidin-4-one products can be further modified into valuable functionalized building blocks in organic synthesis.

Reactions of O-peracetylated (α-D-galacto-heptulopyranosyl bromide)onamide and O-perbenzoylated (α-D-gluco-heptulopyranosyl bromide)onamide with ketones in the presence of silver(I) salt promoters gave the corresponding O-peracylated 1',5'-anhydro-D-glycitol-spiro-[1',5]-4-imino-2,2-disubstituted-1,3-dioxolanes. The D-galacto configured starting compounds furnished both spiro epimers, while the D-gluco counterparts yielded only configurationally inverted products. Under acidic conditions, O-perbenzoylated α-D-gluco-heptulopyranosonamide and ketones yielded the protected 1',5'-anhydro-D-glucitol-spiro-[1',5]-2,2-disubstituted-oxazolidin-4-ones, which were O-debenzoylated by the Zemplén protocol.
