Catalytic one-pot synthesis of 4-(hetero)aryl substituted 5-(2-oxoethyl) oxazol-2(3H)-ones by coupling–isomerization–elimination (CIE) sequence†‡
Abstract
N-Boc protected 1-aryl propargyl carbamates and acid chlorides can be readily transformed in a one-pot fashion by a coupling–isomerization–elimination (CIE) sequence into 4-substituted 5-(2-oxoethyl) oxazol-2(3H)-ones in moderate to good yield.
