title: Regioselective and diastereoselective amination with use of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate: a short and efficient synthesis of (-)-cytoxazone.
abstract: The total synthesis of (-)-cytoxazone 1 was achieved in six linear steps (34% overall yield) from p-anisaldehyde. The key steps in this route are the regioselective and stereoselective introduction of a N-protected amine group, using the CSI reaction of the anti-1,2-dimethyl ether 3, and the subsequent regioselective cyclization of the N-protected amino diol 13 to give the 2-oxazolidinone unit of (-)-cytoxazone 1.
