3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones through the Palladium-Catalyzed <i>N</i>-Arylation of 2-Oxazolidinones

Abstract

[reaction: see text] 3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones are obtained in good yields through the palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of 2-oxazolidinones with aryl bromides. The nature of aryl bromides, phosphine ligands, bases, and solvents strongly affects the reaction outcome.
