K. Kamata et al., Synthesis of optically active 2-chloromethyl-2-oxazolines by the ortho-ester condensation method using triethyl orthochloroacetate, HETEROCYCLE, 51(2), 1999, pp. 373-378
A set of optically active 2-chloromethyl-2-oxazolines was synthesized by co
ndensation of optically active 2-amino alcohols with triethyl orthochloroac
etate which was prepared conveniently from triethyl orthoacetate by chlorin
ation using tert-butyl hypochlorite.
