Abstract

An efficient, catalytic asymmetric approach to antibacterial agent linezolid has been developed. The route features organocatalytic, highly enantioselective aldol and Beckman rearrangement reactions. The strategy has also been successfully applied for the preparation of new alpha-substituted analogues with high enantio- and diastereoselectivity.
