Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation (ADH) of (4S)-3-((E)-3′-substituted-2′-propenoyl)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone1a and 1b resulted in the in situ rearrangement of the initially produced diols or its osmates to provide 3-((1'S)-1′-isopropyl-2′-hydroxyethyl)-5-(S)-5-((1'R)-1′-hydroxybenzyl (2a) and -hydroxyethyl (2b))-2,4-oxazolidinedione, respectively. The structure of 2a was determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:Nevertheless, formation of 2 is efficient and highly stereoselective and suggest interesting possibilities for the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of chiral 3,5-disubstituted-2,4-oxazolidinedione derivatives. Some of 3,5-disubstituted-2,4-oxazolidinedione derivatives show fungicidal or pharmaceutical activities. 6) Acknowledgement: We are grateful to Korea Institut of Science and Technology (E-12980) for financial support.
