(4S,5S)-3-BenzyI-4-formyl-5-vinyl-2-oxazolidinone (2), readily prepared via the reductive elimination of the mannose-derived iodo phenyl sulfone (6b), is used in the synthesis of the alkaloid (2R,3S)-3-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine (1).
Diastereoselectivity in the addition of organocerium reagents to 4- and 5-oxazolidonecarbaldehydes: Synthesis of syn- and anti-alcohols

Chiral non-racemic 4- and 5-oxazolidonecarbaldehydes, typified by 2 and 7, react highly diastereoselectively with organocerium reagents to give moderate to good yields of syn- and anti-alcohols, respectively. Rationalizations for the observed diastereoselectivites are presented. The synthetic potential of this method is exemplified by the synthesis of C-18-D-ribo-phytosphingosine which was obtained as its tetraacetate.
