3-Trimethylsilylpropargylic alcohols 1, on treatment with amides 2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of cationic gold(III), underwent propargylic substitution followed by cycloisomerization, in which the key feature is the beta-cation-stabilizing effect of the silicon atom of 1.
Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Propargylation/Cycloisomerization Tandem Reaction: One-Pot Synthesis of Substituted Oxazoles from Propargylic Alcohols and Amides
An efficient one-pot propargylation/cycloisomerization tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of substituted oxazole derivatives from propargylic alcohols and amides with use of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA) as a bifunctional catalyst. This method provides a rapid and efficient access to substituted oxazoles.
A rapid and efficient procedure under microwave irradiation, using silica gel-supported reagents for the synthesis of substitued oxazoles has been developed through iron trichloride catalyzed propargylation/cycloisomerization tandem reaction of propargylic acetates and amides.
