A process produces 1,3-oxazolidine derivatives by reacting an imine derivative of the following formula (1): <CHEM> with an epoxy compound of the following formula (2): <CHEM> to yield an oxazolidine derivative of the following formula (3): <CHEM> A compound of Group 3 elements of the Periodic Table of Elements, or other metallic compounds can be used as a catalyst. In the formulae, R<1>, R<2>, R<4>, R<5>, R<6>, and R<7> are each, independently, a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group, or a heterocyclic group, and R<3> is a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group, a heterocyclic group, a hydroxyl group, a substituted oxy group, or an amino group which may have a substituent, where a combination of R<1> and R<2>, R<4> and R<5>, R<6> and R<7>, or R<4> and R<6> may be combined to form a ring with the adjacent carbon atom or carbon-carbon bond. The process can easily yield 1,3-oxazolidine derivatives from readily available materials. |
