2-aminooxazolidinenone-4

Prompt please, how to synthesize 2-aminooxazolidinenone-4
One described method involve interaction a butyl ester of glycolic acid with urea, that results to 2-aminooxazolidinenone-4, but output of a product less than 5%.
I think, may be that there are more "fashionable" methods.

How about urea + chloroacetyl chloride?

I have tried so to do, thus was formed
NH2CONHCOCH2Cl but chloromethyl - group did not attack the "urea" carbonyl (at least heating to ~120 `C). May be necessary iodoacetyl chloride (but...   :-\ is a very "cheerful" substance). Also I have lead reaction between urea and methyliodoacetate in DMF (isourea derivative -> intramolecular attack imino - group to ester group). I began to heat up and... iodine was allocated. May be air oxidation iodide anion in boiling solution  ???

What conditions did you try to cyclize the product from the chloroacetyl chloride reaction?

How about a DCC coupling with urea and glycolic acid, then treat the product with tosyl chloride + triethylamine.  Procedures similar to that are the most common way to make oxazolines.

After neutralization NH2CONHCOCH2Cl*HCl,  heated up at presence NaHCO3 (is described method, but in cases saturated ureas) in ~50% EtOH, cyclization failed. At now I think that It is necessary to use (can be) stronger bases (KOtBu or KOiPr) in DMSO.
As to glycolic acid... is a problem for me. I think to try so: NH2CONHCOCH2Cl -> NH2CONHCOCH2OH ->
as you have offered (MsCl/Et3N).

Maybe you could try urea + bromoacetyl bromide.  That should be significantly more reactive than the chloride version.

Well, I shall try so to make. Probably this substance should be heated up to ~ 120-150 `C.
About results I shall inform  :)
