Formation of N-tributylstannyl-2-oxazolidone from (Bu3Sn)2O and 2-chloroethyl isocyanate
Abstract
N-Tributylstannyl-2-oxazolidone is formed from the reaction of (Bu3Sn)2O and 2-chloroethyl isocyanate in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide, and reacts with electrophiles to give N-substituted 2-oxazolidones in good yields.
