Abstract

A highly efficient and stereoselective cycloaddition of aryl isocyanates with chiral oxiranes catalyzed by MgI2 etherate under solvent-free conditions was developed to prepare the chiral oxazolidinone derivatives. This methodology has been applied into the practical synthesis of antibacterial drug linezolid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
