A metal-free, biomimetic catalytic protocol for the cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amides to the corresponding 2-oxazolines (4,5-dihydrooxazoles), promoted by the 1,3,5,2,4,6-triazatriphosphorine (TAP)-derived organocatalyst tris(o-phenylenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (TAP-1) has been developed. This approach requires less precatalyst compared to the reported relevant systems, with respect to the phosphorus atom (the maximum turnover number (TON) ～30), and exhibits a broader substrate scope and higher functional-group tolerance, providing the functionalized 2-oxazolines with retention of the configuration at the C(4) stereogenic center of the 2-oxazolines. Widely accessible β-amino alcohols can be used in this approach, and the cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amides provides the desired 2-oxazolines in up to 99% yield. The mechanism of the reaction was studied by monitoring the reaction using spectral and analytical methods, whereby an 18O-labeling experiment furnished valuable insights. The initial step involves a stoichiometric reaction between the substrate and TAP-1, which leads to the in situ generation of the catalyst, a catechol cyclic phosphate, as well as to a pyrocatechol phosphate and two possible active intermediates. The dehydrative cyclization was also successfully conducted on the gram scale.

Cyclodehydration of Cbz-valylthreonine methyl esters with Burgess reagent provides access to cis- and trans-oxazoline segments for cyclooligomerization reactions. The ratio of 12-, 18-, 24-, and larger-ring macrocycles obtained in this process is kinetica
