Abstract

Processes are described for preparing 2,4-oxazolidinediones having Formula (I) ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 is phenyl optionally substituted with 1-2 halogens; or 4-phenoxy, 4-(1-phenethyloxy) or 4-benzyloxy each optionally substituted with R.sup.2 on the phenyl ring; and R.sup.2 is halogen; methyl; or ethyl. 2-Hydroxycarboxylic acid esters are reacted with a carbonylating agent in the presence of a base to give intermediate triazole or imidazole carboxylates. The carboxylates react with phenyl hydrazine in the presence of an acid to give the compounds of Formula (I).
