Popis: A regio and stereospecific synthesis of 2-methyl-(Z)-4-(phenylimino)naphth[2,3-d]oxazol-9-one (1) was achieved by using titanium tetrachloride in methylene chloride in the preparation of the imine. The regiochemistry was assigned by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In vitro tests showed that this diastereomer is selectively active for some solid cancer tumors.
