The reaction conditions for an enantiospecific synthesis of various N-aryl-oxazolidinones from N-aryl-carbamates and (R) or (S) epichlorohydrin were optimized. The N-aryl-oxazolidinones were applied to the synthesis of compounds of biological interest such as DuP 721, toloxatone and a linezolid analogue.

Anthranilic acids (AAs) are significant basic chemicals used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, fragrances,etc. Superfluous steps are always involved in obtaining AAs. Herein, we demonstrate a straightforward strategy to transform abundanto-nitrotoluenes into biologically and pharmaceutically significant AAs without any extra reductants, oxidants and protecting groups. Various sensitive groups, such as halogens, sulfide, aldehyde, pyridines, quinolines,etc., can be tolerated in this transformation. A hundred-gram-scale operation is realized efficiently with almost quantitative selenium recycling. Further mechanistic studies and DFT calculations disclosed the proposed atom-exchange processes and the key roles of the selenium species.
A convenient Hofmann reaction of carboxamides and cyclic imides mediated by trihaloisocyanuric acids

A simple, efficient and pot-economic approach in a single vessel has been developed for conversion of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides into primary amines with one fewer carbom atom (Hofmann reaction) in 38–89 % yield by reacting with trichloro- or tribromoisocyanuric acid and sodium hydroxide in aqueous acetonitrile. Under the same reaction conditions, cyclic imides gave amino acids (69–83 %). The role of the trihaloisocyanuric acids is the in situ generation of N-haloamides, key-intermediates for the Hofmann reaction. The scalability of the methodology was demonstrated by a multigram-scale transformation of phthalimide into anthranilic acid in 77 % yield.
