Abstract
Diastereomers (4S,4aS)- and (4R,4aS)- 2,4-diphenyl-4H-4a,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-d][1,3,4]oxadiazine and their 2,4,4-triphenylsubstituted analogue were synthesised. Their conformational behaviour, elucidated by means of NMR spectroscopy and X-Ray analysis, revealed some surprising features. The unsubstituted parent compound (4aS)-2-phenyl-4H-4a,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-d][1,3,4]oxadiazine was shown, by X-Ray analysis to adopt the same conformational preference in the solid state as in solution, the cis N-out conformation. However both (4S,4aS)- 2,4-diphenyl-4H-4a,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-d][1,3,4]oxadiazine and its 2,4,4-triphenyl-substituted analogue adopted a trans conformation in the solid state, in contrast to their predominant cis conformations adopted in solution. The determination of the conformation in solution rewuired the examination of several parameters including homonuclear NOEs, vicinal H,H and H,C, coupling constants, the 2JH-7α,H-7β value, the δδ H-7α,H-7β value, δ H4a, and the 15N chemical shift of the bridgehead nitrogen.

Abstract
The title reaction of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid with phenyl isothiocyanate gave 5,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione. The structure was determined by X-Ray crystal analysis, and the reaction pathway was estimated. The reactions of other 2-hydroxyl acids with isothiocyanates also gave some 2,4-oxazolidinediones in good yields. 3-Hydroxybutyric acid, salicylic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid afforded the corresponding cyclic products through the desulfurization-cyclization with isothiocyanate, respectively. N-Substituted amino acids gave several imidazolidine-2,4-diones in the same way.
