The first deprotonations of oxazole and benzoxazole using lithium magnesates are described. The reactions occurred in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature using 1/3 equiv of lithium tributylmagnesate. As 2-lithiooxazole and 2-lithiobenzoxazole, lithium tri(2-oxazolyl)magnesate and lithium tri(2-benzoxazolyl)magnesate very rapidly and completely isomerized to the more stable 2-(isocyano)enolate and 2-(isocyano)phenolate type structures, respectively, a result shown by NMR analysis. The isolation of 2-substituted oxazoles and benzoxazoles in medium to good yields after electrophilic trapping was interpreted in two ways: (1) the equilibration between the open and closed structures is faster than the trapping of the open isomers, and the closed isomers are more reactive than the open ones, or (2) the open isomers react with electrophiles in a intramolecular Passerini type reaction. The nonreactivity of the 2-(isocyano)enolate type structure toward anisaldehyde in the absence of lithium bromide makes the intramolecular Passerini type reaction more plausible.

The iron-catalyzed hydrogen transfer strategy has been applied to the redox condensation of o-hydroxynitrobenzene with alcohol, leading to the formation of benzoxazole derivatives. A wide range of 2-substituted benzoxazoles were synthesized in good to excellent yields without the addition of an external redox agent. A series of control experiments provided a plausible mechanism. Furthermore, the reaction system was successfully extended to the synthesis of benzothiazoles and benzimidazoles.

We report herein a two-step one-pot strategy for the synthesis of benzoxazoles from amides by using cesium fluoride/copper as catalysts. This approach involves the in situ generation of acyl fluorides from the corresponding amides, and the acyl fluorides undergo transamidation and cyclization to give benzoxazoles in good yields. In this work, the amide C?N bonds are activated by CsF to form the acyl fluoride intermediates, which further react with o-bromoanilines to efficiently yield benzoxazoles. Notably, this methodology demonstrates a broad substrate scope, as primary/secondary benzamides are well tolerated, and this process might facilitate the development of one-pot transformations of amides. (Figure presented.).
