โฆ Synopsis
Treatment of (-)-O-acyllactamides or mandelamides with TBSOTf in the presence of base gives optically active 2-oxy-1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones stereoselectively, which serve as useful precursors for the preparation of optically active secondary 2-pyrrolidones via radical cyclization and subsequent one-step removal of mandelic acid.

Rearrangements of aryl-and ethenyl-substituted oxiranes proceed well in the presence of triethylsilane and BF 3 to give optically active alcohols, which we have used for a synthesis of (S)-ibuprofen 1. We have also shown that a vinyl group migrates to a benzylic cation faster than a phenyl group mig
