Abstract
An unexpected diastereoselective C-alkylation of a mefloquine derivative in up to 57% yield was the result of an attempted Williamson etherification of Boc-mefloquine. The domino reaction involved oxazolidinone ring closure, deprotonation, and stereoselective carbon–carbon bond formation. The structure was confirmed with 2D NMR experiments.
