The reaction of the 5-membered α-methoxycarbamate 8 (5-hexyl-4-methoxy-3-methyl-2-oxazolidinone) with organocopper-boron trifluoride reagents gave the SN2-type displacement product predominantly, whereas the reaction with allyl-trimethylsilane, allyltributyltin, and 9-allyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonane afforded the SN1-type product preferentially. The similar stereodivergent reaction took place with 6-membered α-ethoxycarbamate 12 (4-ethoxy-6-heptyl-3-methyl-1,3-oxazan-2-one).
