title: An expedient stereoselective and chemoselective synthesis of bicyclic oxazolidinones from quinols and isocyanates.
abstract: A mild and efficient synthesis of bicyclic oxazolidinones from quinols and isocyanates, under DBU-mediated conditions at room temperature, is described. The aza-Michael addition to substituted cyclohexadienones is stereoselective and chemoselective.
