Palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective allylic alkylation of 5-vinyloxazolidine-2,4-diones with azlactones: synthesis of chiral (Z)-trisubstituted allylic amino acid derivatives

Palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective allylic alkylation of 5-vinyloxazolidine-2,4-diones with azlactones worked well to give the Z configuration of various trisubstituted allylic amino acid derivatives.
