N -Cbz-α-tosylglycinate ester was combined with aldehydes in a redox-neutral sequence leading to 2-oxazolone-4-carboxylates with high functional group tolerance. While the scope of the method was delineated to primary and secondary aliphatic aldehydes as well as aromatics, no racemization occurred with chiral aldehydes such as Garner's. Hitherto unknown, this process relies on the ambivalent role of N -Cbz-α-tosylglycinate ester acting as a pronucleophile.
