Generation of Oxazolidine-2,4-diones Bearing Sulfur-Substituted Quaternary Carbon Atoms by Oxothiolation/Cyclization of Ynamides

摘要

A novel method for metal-free oxothiolation of ynamides to construct oxazolidine-2,4-diones bearing sulfur-substituted quaternary carbon atoms has been developed. It represents a rare C-O bond cleavage of ynamides, as well as a facile and tandem approach for the formation of C-O, C-S, and C-Cl bonds. This redox-neutral protocol can be applied to the synthesis of multisubstituted oxazolidine-2,4-diones with good chemoselectivity and good yields of isolated products under mild conditions.
