J. Knol et Bl. Feringa, DIRECT COUPLING PROCEDURE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF N-ACYL-2-OXAZOLIDINONES DERIVED FROM ALPHA,BETA-UNSATURATED CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS, Synthetic communications, 26(2), 1996, pp. 261-268
An efficient direct coupling procedure for the synthesis of N-acyl-2-o
xazolidinones derived from alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids is
described in which 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide is employed as t
he dehydrating agent.
