Abstract
We report a tandem asymmetric aldehyde-alkyne-amine (A3) coupling-carboxylative cyclization sequence for the highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral N-aryl 2-oxazolidinones. This is a rare example of a multicatalyst-promoted asymmetric tandem reaction using CO2 as a C1 synthon. Notably, the copper species and ligand from the upstream A3 reaction are internally reused to facilitate the downstream silver-catalyzed carboxylative cyclization.
