N-Acyl-2-oxazolidinones are ring-opened by lithium iodide and decarboxylated in the presence of a mild proton source. Further reaction with an amine base provides 2-oxazolines. The transformation is general for oxazolidinones unsubstituted in the 5 position and occurs under mild conditions (25-50 degrees C). These results complement the existing methods for this transformation by allowing lower temperatures and/or avoiding metal catalysts.
N-酰基-2-恶唑烷酮在碘化锂作用下发生开环反应,并在温和的质子源存在下脱羧。进一步与胺碱反应生成2-恶唑啉。该转化反应对于5位未被取代的恶唑烷酮具有普遍性,且在温和条件下(25 - 50摄氏度)发生。这些结果通过允许更低的温度和/或避免使用金属催化剂,对该转化反应的现有方法进行了补充。
