Novel ring transformation of mesoionic oxazoles into 2(1H)-pyrazinones by the reaction with TosMIC
摘要:
Treatment of mesoionic 1,3-oxazolium-5-olates with TosMIC in the presence of a base causes a novel ring transformation affording 2(1H)-pyrazinones in moderate yields. The origin of C-2 carbonyl oxygen in the product was elucidated to be molecular oxygen, based on O-18-labeling experiments.[GRAPHICS].(C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In this report, we describe a new method for the synthesis of densely functionalized 2(1H)-pyrazinones. Treatment of mesoionic 1,3-oxazolium-5-olates with carbanions derived from activated methylene isocyanides (p-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) and ethyl isocyanoacetate) causes a novel ring transformation affording 2(1H)-pyrazinones in moderate to high yields. The cytotoxicity and antibacterial
