Vinyl oxazolidinones react with DDQ to form alpha,beta-unsaturated acyliminium ions in a new method for forming electrophiles under oxidative conditions. Appended nucleophiles undergo 1,4-addition reactions with these intermediates to form cyclic vinyl oxazolidinones with good levels of diastereocontrol, highlighting a new approach to utilizing oxidative carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization to increase molecular complexity. ...[more]
