Improved procedure for the enantioselective synthesis of dihydrooxazolo and dihydrothiazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones

• Improved procedures to synthesize enantioselectively analogues of a peptidomimetic scaffold with high biological relevance have been developed. Experimental design led to a general method for the preparation of dihydrooxazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones in good yields and high enantiomeric purity. The knowledge gained from this was also used to improve the microwave-accelerated synthesis of dihydrothiazolo ring-fused 2-pyridones to give complete stereo retention and high yields.
