title: An improved procedure for the palladium-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of beta-amino alcohols to oxazolidin-2-ones.
abstract: A highly efficient oxidative cyclocarbonylation of beta-amino alcohols and 2-aminophenol to oxazolidin-2-ones has been achieved by using PdI(2) in conjunction with KI as the catalytic system in DME under relatively mild conditions (100 degrees C and 20 atm of a 4:1 mixture of CO and air).
