(4R)-4-Benzyl-3-{(4S)-4-chloro-4-[(S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]butano-yl}-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(19)H(24)ClNO(5), was synthesized and subsequently employed in an Evans alkyl-ation. The purpose was to prove the absolute configuration in the projected synthesis of the side chain of (-)-Lytophilippine A. The oxazolidinone and the isopropylidene acetal rings have twisted conformations. The oxazolidinone and side-chain carbonyl groups are orientated in an anti-periplanar arrangement to minimize van der Waals repulsions. Furthermore, the Cl atom and the acetonide-protected secondary alcohol are also in an anti-periplanar arrangement with a torsion angle of 173.64 (14)°. The absolute configuration was determined and agrees with the configuration of the used chiral auxiliary.
