title: Highly efficient CuI-catalyzed coupling of aryl bromides with oxazolidinones using Buchwald's protocol: a short route to linezolid and toloxatone.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Coupling of a variety of substituted aryl bromides with oxazolidinones has been achieved using the Buchwald protocol for the amidation of aryl halides. This procedure is exemplified by the synthesis of two medicinally important molecules, linezolid and toloxatone.
