Guiding the nitrogen nucleophile to the middle: palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclopropanation of 2-alkylidenetrimethylene carbonates with isocyanates

Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclopropanation of 2-alkylidenetrimethylene carbonates with isocyanates is described to form oxazolidinones of (1-aminocyclopropyl)methanols with high selectivity. The site of nucleophilic attack is directed by connecting the two reaction components and by employing an electron-deficient triarylphosphine ligand.
