3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones through the palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-oxazolidinones

Org Lett. 2001 Aug 9;3(16):2539-41. doi: 10.1021/ol016208m.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] 3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones are obtained in good yields through the palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-oxazolidinones with aryl bromides. The nature of aryl bromides, phosphine ligands, bases, and solvents strongly affects the reaction outcome.
