Abstract

The photocycloaddition of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and keto esters, respectively) with 5-methoxyoxazoles bearing substituents at C2 and C4 is described with respect to regio- and diastereoselectivity. In all cases the reactions proceed with excellent regioselectivity and with high to moderate (exo) diastereoselectivity independent of the nature of the excited carbonyl compound. The products can be easily ring-opened to give α-amino, β-hydroxy carboxylic acid derivatives.
