Direct synthesis of N-substituted 1,3-oxazolidines via a hetero-domino Petasis borono-Mannich reaction of 1,2-amino alcohols, formaldehyde, and organoboronic acids

A simple and convenient approach to the synthesis of N-substituted 1,3-oxazolidines via a hetero-domino Petasis borono-Mannich reaction of 1,2-amino alcohols, formaldehyde, and organoboronic acids has been reported. The transformation provides an effective and complementary pathway toward 1,3-oxazolidine derivatives.
