Chiral 5-hydroxymethyl 2-oxazolidinones (I) are important core structures in many pharmaceutical compounds and intermediates in the synthesis of chiral aminoalcohols. The homologous cyclic carbamate tetrahydro oxazinones are also useful intermediates in synthesizing natural products and 1,3-aminoalcohols. The oxazinanone derivatives are biologically important compounds which are being explored as drugs for inflammatory disease, ulcer, allergy, asthma and arthritis. The chiral version of the homologous 6-substituted 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones are difficult to synthesize. Very few methods of synthesizing chiral 1,3-oxazinanones are available in the literature, this include one asymmetric synthesis of the chiral oxazinanones from aspartic acid. In this paper, we report a new synthetic route to chiral 6-hydroxymethyl tetrahydro 1,3-oxazin-2-ones (II) and their analogues from carbohydrate derivatives.
