Popis: The reaction of styrene oxide and phenyl glycidyl ether with p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate, employing a hydrocarbon-soluble adduct of tributylphosphine oxide and lithium bromide as catalyst, results in excellent yields of the N-p-toluenesulfonyl-2-oxazoIidones. The 5-isomeric-2-oxazolidone is obtained from phenyl glycidyl ether, but in contrast to conventional isocyanates, the p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate, upon reaction with styrene oxide, produces the 4-isomeric 2-oxazolidone as the major product. The effect of the N-sulfonyl group on the nmr spectra of 2-oxazolidones is discussed.
