Abstract
We report a direct synthesis of 2-thioxooxazolidin-4-ones and oxazolidine-2,4-diones from α-keto thioesters with sodium thiocyanate or potassium cyanate, respectively. The reactions proceed through nucleophilic substitution of a thioester with thiocyanate/cyanate anion, thiolate anion addition to carbonyl carbon, and subsequent intramolecular C−O heterocyclization. (Figure presented.).
