Synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated N-acyl-2-oxazolidinones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(96)00826-5

An effective imide formation method is presented, which allows the preparation of β,γ-unsaturated N-acyl-2-oxazolidinones with high yields and without isomerization of the double bond to give the α,β-unsaturated isomers, which are the inevitable by-products when alternative procedures are used.
