One-pot synthesis of oxazoles using isocyanide surrogates

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We wish to present herein a simple one-pot synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles, starting from benzyl halides and acyl chlorides. The in situ formation of isocyanides, followed by the addition of an acyl chloride in the presence of a base leads to the desired oxazoles in good yields.
