(-)-O-Acyllactamides or mandelamides in the presence of TBSOTf underwent cyclization reaction to give optically active 2-oxy-1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones, a novel nitrogen analog of orthoesters, in good yields. An X-ray analysis and NOE studies indicated that the absolute configuration at the newly formed chiral carbon was S. For their synthetic application, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxide was examined. The cycloadducts were obtained in a stereoselective manner. Subsequent treatment of the adduct with TBAF resulted in the one-step removal of mandelamide, giving optically active 4,5-dihydroisoxazole and mandelamide in good yields.
