title: Synthesis of aza-, oxa-, and thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane heterocycles from a common synthetic intermediate.
abstract: [reaction: see text] An efficient and stereospecific approach to the synthesis of structurally constrained aza-, oxa-, and thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane heterocycles has been achieved through application of the intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction of diazoacetates. The various constrained heterocycles (X = N, O, or S) are conveniently prepared from a common diol intermediate accessible from readily available cinnamyl alcohols. Application of the methodology to the synthesis of conformationally constrained oxazolidinone antibacterials is also discussed.
