Metal-free iodine(iii)-promoted synthesis of 2,5-diaryloxazoles

A nonmetal-catalyzed oxidative cyclization to achieve 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles from inexpensive and readily available substituted chalcone, (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PIDA) and ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) at room temperature is described. The reaction forms a variety of 2,5-diaryloxazoles in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope under mild conditions without the requirement of ligands and additional bases.

Synthesis of Substituted Oxazoles by Visible-Light Photocatalysis

A simple and practical method for the synthesis of substituted oxazoles has been developed using readily available α-bromoketones and benzylamines by visible-light photocatalysis at room temperature. The process, which requires 1 mol % of [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 photocatalyst with K3PO4 and CCl3Br, is effective for accessing a variety of valuable oxazole compounds. The synthetic utility of our protocol was also demonstrated by preparing a natural product, texaline.

A facile synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles via a copper-catalyzed cascade reaction of alkenes with azides

A novel and efficient approach to the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles is developed via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/ring cleavage/1,2-H migration/denitrogenation/copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative dehydrogenative cyclization cascade. The desired products can be obtained from readily available aromatic terminal alkenes and azides employing air as the oxidant under mild conditions, and it offers an attractive alternative method for the synthesis of oxazole derivatives.

Metal-Free sp3 C-H Functionalization: PABS/I2-Promoted Synthesis of Polysubstituted Oxazole Derivatives from Arylethanones and 2-Amino-2-alkyl/arylacetic Acid

A nonmetal-catalyzed process for the synthesis of polysubstituted oxazoles from inexpensive and readily available α-amino acids and methyl ketones is established. This reaction is proposed to achieve oxidative cleavage of C(sp3)-H bonds, followed by decarboxylation and annulation. The mild reaction conditions employed in both cases enable the tolerance of a wide range of functional groups as well as high reaction efficiency.

Copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of chalcone and benzylic amine leading to 2,5-diaryl oxazoles via carbon-carbon double bond cleavage

A copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of chalcone with benzylic amine is achieved, providing 2,5-diaryl oxazoles in moderate to good yields. The procedure employs O2 as a clean oxidant and involves an oxidative cleavage of the CC bond as the key step.

Metal-free dual sp3 C-H functionalization: I2- promoted domino oxidative cyclization to construct 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles

An I2-promoted sp3 C-H functionalization has been developed for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles from easily available methyl ketones and benzylamines without any metal and peroxide catalyst. This domino oxidative cyclization process involves the cleavage of C-H bond and the formation of C-N, C-O bonds.

Practical oxazole synthesis mediated by iodine from α-bromoketones and benzylamine derivatives

The reagent system of I2/K2CO3 could efficiently promote the oxazole synthesis from α-bromoketones and benzylamine derivatives in DMF. This method was not only suitable for 2,5-diaryl oxazole synthesis but also for 2,4,5-trisubstituted oxazole and 5-alkyl/alkenyl oxazole synthesis. Furthermore, this method was successfully applied to a one-step synthesis of a natural product halfordinol in 62% yield.

Direct synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles through an iodine-catalyzed decarboxylative domino reaction

An efficient iodine-catalyzed synthesis of highly substituted oxazoles is presented. Starting from readily available aryl methyl ketones, β-keto esters, or styrenes, in combination with α-amino acids as amine-containing coupling partners, the corresponding 2-alkyl-5-aryl- substituted oxazoles were obtained in up to 80% yield via a decarboxylative domino reaction.

TBHP/I2-mediated domino oxidative cyclization for one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted oxazoles

A facile type of one-pot, transition-metal-free domino process was developed for the synthesis of oxazoles. Thus, a variety of polysubstituted oxazoles were easily synthesized via t-BuOOH/I2-mediated domino oxidative cyclization from readily available starting materials under mild conditions.

Synthesis of 2,5-diaryloxazoles through van Leusen reaction and copper-mediated direct arylation

The direct arylation of 5-aryloxazoles, prepared by the van Leusen reaction, with various aryl iodides is effectively promoted by a system of CuI combined with PPh3 and Na2CO3 as a ligand and a base, respectively, in DMF to produce the corresponding 2,5-diaryloxazoles in good yields.
