Abstract

The arylation of azaheterocycles can be considered as one of the most important processes for the preparation of various biologically active compounds. In the present work, we describe a method for the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of hindered oxazolidinones using diaryliodonium salts. The method succeeds in good to excellent yields for the arylation of 4-alkyloxazolidinones, including sterically hindered isopropyl- and tert-butyl-substituted. The efficiency of the method was demonstrated for a wide range of diaryliodonium salts - symmetric and unsymmetric as well as ortho-substituted derivatives. The developed approach will provide an important contribution in the development and preparation of novel drugs and bioactive molecules containing oxazolidinone moieties.
