Asymmetric synthesis of 1,3-oxazolidine derivatives with multi-component reaction and research of kinetic resolution

Abstract

An efficient multi-component reaction to synthesize multi-substituted 1,3-oxazolidine compounds of high optical purity was described. All the products were well-characterized and the absolute configuration of one chiral center was determined. The plausible mechanism was proposed and a kinetic resolution of epoxides process was confirmed.
