Organotellurium-mediated synthesis of oxazolidin-2-ones from alkenes
Abstract
Phenyltellurinyl trifluoracetate in combination with ethyl carbamate and boron trifluoride–diethyl ether reacted with alkenes in refluxed 1,2-dichloroethane, regio- and stereo-selectively giving oxazolidin-2-ones in high yields.
