Organic α-bromocarboxylates react with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of Fe(CO)5 (the Reformatsky-type reactions). Unlike them, N-oxazolidinone derivatives of the same acids undergo diastereoselective reductive dimerization to give (2S,3S)-dimers, regardless of the configuration of the α-chiral center in the starting reagent.
