An efficient electrochemical synthesis of poly-substituted oxazoles from readily available β-diketone derivatives and benzylamines is described. This electrochemical procedure does not need hazardous oxidants and transition metal catalysts as well as molecular I2 additives. Compared with the traditional thermo-chemical method, the present electrochemical method is greener and more efficient.

A highly efficient synthesis of polysubstituted oxazoles was developed via a copper-catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization. The desired products can be obtained from readily available starting materials under mild conditions. This is an attractive alternative method for the synthesis of oxazole derivatives.
