摘要
Seebach's proline-derived oxazolidinone 2d overcomes (S)-proline and is at least as efficient as (S)-5(pyrrolidin-2-yl)tetrazole in several organocatalytic aldol reactions examined. A quick exchange takes place between 2d and carbonyl Compounds that gives new bicyclic oxazolidinones, in equilibrium with the very minor active species (enamines). Maximum yields of the aldols (beta-hydroxy ketones) were achieved after 1-4 h when, with proline, they are attained after 30-48 h. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
