19. 6. All new compounds were fully characterized by 1H and 13 C NMR and by elemental analysis or accurate mass determination. The bromides 2a-e were prepared by bromination of the boron enolate with N-bromo succinimide or by reaction of the appropriate a-bromo acid bromide with magnesium oxazolidinone.
