Direct coupling procedure for the synthesis of N-acyl-2-oxazolidinones derived from alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids

摘要

An efficient direct coupling procedure for the synthesis of N-acyl-2-oxazolidinones derived from alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids is described in which 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide is employed as the dehydrating agent.
