Synthesis of (R)- and (S)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-isopropyloxazolidin-2-one, intermediates in the preparation of optically active β-blockers

The (R)- and (S)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-isopropyloxazolidin-2-ones, ((R)- and (S)-2, resp.), pivotal intermediates in the preparation of optically active β-blockers, were synthesized using (R,E)-2-hydroxypent-3-enenitrile (1) as the chiral starting material.
