Chiral oxazolidinium salts were prepared by treatment of (-)-ephedrine derived oxazolidines with allylic bromides. These quaternary salts undergo regio- and diastereoselective Stevens rearrangement by treatment with sodium hydride. The reaction constitutes a novel entry to enantiopure tetrasubstituted morpholines.
