Popis: A short and efficient strategy for the synthesis of (−)-cytoxazone, (−)-4- epi -cyoxazone and their analogues by using DDQ mediated diastereoselective intermolecular benzylic amination has been described. Immunological evaluation of their cytokine modulating activity revealed that the change of hydroxy methyl to methyl group increased the cellular immunity in in-vitro cultures. Changes in the stereochemistry of oxazolidine haven't influenced the biological activity.
