Abstract

As part of an antibacterial drug discovery project, we were interested in preparing bioisosteric replacement analogues of 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidinones. One such isosteric replacement is the imidazolidinone ring system. Here, we report the development of a general synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted imidazolidinones that takes advantage of the base-catalyzed rearrangement of amino­methyl-substituted oxazolidinones.

Key words

drug discovery - fused-ring systems - ring opening - rearrangements
