A novel palladium-catalyzed approach for constructing 2,5-diarylated oxazole-4-carboxylates using sodium arylsulfinates as the aryl source has been demonstrated.
Aryl sulfonates were developed by ssing an energy-saving and eco-friendly approach, through ultrasound-assisted coupling reaction of readily sodium sulfinates with N-hydroxyphthalimide, under metal-free and mild conditions within 10 min at room temperature.
