17. It is known that N-Boc-amides can be transformed directly into oxazolidinones with configurational inversion at the hydroxyl bearing carbon atom: Benedetti F., Norbedo S. Tetrahedron Lett. 41:2000;10071-10074. however, due to the bulky nature of the t-Boc protecting group, the AA reaction with N-Boc-N-halocarbamates is not successful, and the preparation of the N-Boc analogue of 4 would require additional steps.
