Cyclisation reactions of α-hydroxy-imidates with oxalyl chloride and NN′-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide
Abstract
α-Hydroxy-imidate salts reacted with oxalyl chloride to form morpholine-2,3,5-triones, whereas the free bases gave oxazolidine-2,4-diones with the same reagent. Although imidate bases did not react with NN′-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, their salts gave 2-cyclohexylimino-oxazolidin-4-ones.
