Preferential oxygenation of 4-cycloalkylideneoxazol-5(4H)-ones: synthesis of N-acylcycloalk-1-enecarboxamides
Abstract
The addition of oxygen, in the presence of base, to 4-cycloalkylideneoxazol-5(4H)-ones led to new substituted N-acylcycloalkenecarboxamides in high yield, via base-catalysed isomerisation, oxygenation and subsequent fragmentation of a hydro- or endo-peroxide intermediate.
