title: New potential antibacterials: a synthetic route to N-aryloxazolidinone/3-aryltetrahydroisoquinoline hybrids.
abstract: A synthetic route to a new structural type of potential antibacterials, with a hybrid 3-aryltetrahydroisoquinoline-6,7-diol/N-aryloxazolidinone structure, is reported. The synthesis involves the successive construction of the 3-aryltetrahydroisoquinoline and 4-substituted oxazolidinone moieties, the latter taking advantage of the functionalization at the para position of the aryl group.
