Abstract

AbstractA practical ruthenium‐catalyzed O‐ to S‐alkyl migration affords structurally diverse thiooxazolidinones in excellent yields. Our studies suggest this catalytic transformation proceeds through a pseudoreversible radical pathway drawing mechanistic parallels to the classic Barton–McCombie reaction.
