Abstract

An efficient enantioselective synthesis of the antibacterials, linezolid (U-100766), and eperezolid (U-100592) using d-proline-catalyzed asymmetric α-aminooxylation of aldehydes as the key step is described here. This is the first report on the enantioselective synthesis of linezolid and eperezolid using asymmetric catalysis.
