T. Ishizuka et al., SYNTHETIC APPLICATION OF CHIRAL 4-METHOXY-2-OXAZOLIDINONE SYNTHONS TO2-AMINO ALCOHOLS OF BIOLOGICAL INTEREST, Heterocycles, 42(2), 1996, pp. 837-848
The versatility as chiral synthons of (4S, 5S)- and (4R, 5R)-5-allyl-4
-methoxy-2-oxazolidinones, readily obtainable from )-2-exo-alkoxy-1-ap
ocamphanecarbonyl]-2-oxazolone, is demonstrated by the facile stereosp
ecific conversions to (2R, 3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-3-phenylpentanoic aci
d, (2R, 3R, 5E,7E)-2-amino-5,7-tetradecadien-3-ol and (2S, 3R)-dihydro
sphingosine.
