“…Although examples of 2-substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazolidin-5-ones and -thiones [3][4][5][6] and tetrahydroimidazo [1,5-b] [1,2,4]oxadiazol-2(1H)-ones [7,8] and thiones [9,10] are known in the literature, examples of 2-unsubstituted-1,2,4-oxadiazolidin-5-ones are absent. Lycoposerramine-A, is a recently reported alkaloid which has a 4-unsubstituted-1,2,4-oxadiazolidin-5-one residue in the molecule [11].…”
