Abstract The reduction of various N ‐substituted oxazolidin‐2‐ones with LiAlH 4 was investigated to open a pathway for methanol formation. By 15 N and 13 C NMR analysis and correlation with Hammett σ p parameters appropriate substituents can be found which direct the reduction into the desired pathway. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
