Publisher: Bentham Science   Abstract Cyclization of the (4S)-PhCH2OCONHCH(CH2OH)CONHN=CH-aryl, obtained in 4 steps from L-serine, on treatment with MeI and potassium carbonate, generates the chiral oxazolidinones, (4S)-N’-[(E)-(phenyl)methylidene]-Nmethyl- 2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidine-4-carbohydrazides. Overall the formation of […]
