Copper-Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of N -Aryl Oxazolidinones from Amino Alcohol Carbamates

An efficient sequential intramolecular cyclization of amino alcohol carbamates followed by Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl iodides under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction occurred in good yields and tolerated aryl iodides containing functionalities such as nitriles, ketones, ethers, and halogens. Heteroaryl iodides and substituted amino alcohol carbamates were also well tolerated.

Copper-catalyzed C-N coupling of amides and nitrogen-containing heterocycles in the presence of cesium fluoride

The copper-catalyzed C-N coupling of amides to aryl halides usually requires the use of strong alkali metal bases, such as K2CO3, K3PO4, and Cs2CO3, at high temperature. We discovered that
