Insertion reactions of diazo carbonyls to azlactones in basic conditions have been performed. The developed method allows the preparation of a wide range of oxazole derivatives in yields ranging from 74 to 98%. Different substituents on both azlactone rings and diazo carbonyls do not compromise the methodology, even those containing stereogenic centers. Isotopic labeling experiments revealed the mechanism may proceed through a rare diazo carbonyl activation by an ammonium salt derivative.
SYNTHESIS OF FLUORINATED α-AMINO KETONES PART I: α-BENZAMIDOALKYL MONO- DI- AND TRIFLUOROMETHYL KETONES

2-Phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones, obtained from α-amino acids, are reacted with di- and trifluoro acetic anhydride by a modified Dakin-West procedure to yield in a one-pot reaction α-benzamidoalkyl-di- and trifluoromethyl ketones in good yields.The monofluoromethyl analogues were also prepared from α-amino acids, however the use of the highly toxic fluoroacetic anhydride was avoided.The key step is the halogen exchange reaction on the corresponding bromomethyl ketone.
