D. Gueyrard et al., Reactivity range of a chiral 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione obtained from vegetable source through chemo-enzymatic processing, HETEROCYCLE, 52(2), 2000, pp. 827-843
Original chemo-enzymatic processing of epi-progoitrin (1), a glucosinolate
extracted from crambe presscake, produces (5R)-5-vinyl-1,3-oxazolidine-2-th
ione (2) in enantiomerically pure form. The reactivity range of this chiron
is investigated.
