Jm. Vega-perez et al., Stereoselective synthesis of oxazolidines from 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-allose derivatives and their reactivity with nucleophiles, TETRAHEDR-A, 12(1), 2001, pp. 135-147
The use of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-allose in the synthesis of oxazolidines is des
cribed. The reaction takes place with total stereoselectivity in the prepar
ation of both simple oxazolidines (from aldehydes as reagent) and bicyclic
oxazolidines (from chlorocarbonyl compounds and keto-acids as reagents). Th
e reactivity of the obtained oxazolidines with hydride and alkylmagnesium c
hlorides is also described. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All
