A simple high‐yield three‐steps route to optically active 4‐hydroxymethyl‐3‐(1 H ‐indolyl)oxazolidin‐2‐ones from ( S )‐glycidol is described. The key intermediates ( R )‐oxiran‐2‐ylmethyl 1 H ‐indol‐4/‐5‐ylcarbamates are obtained in high yields from ( S )‐glycidol. These are readily transformed to oxazolidin‐2‐ones, very interesting building blocks in drug synthesis. Chirality, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
