Synthesis of 5‐Trifluoromethyl‐4,5‐dihydrooxazoles From Trifluoromethyl(alkenyl)ketones and p‐Tosylmethylisocyanide
A simple synthetic approach towards 5‐(trifluoromethyl)‐4,5‐dihydrooxazoles was elaborated. To this end, the reaction of trifluoromethyl(alkenyl)ketones with p‐tosylmethylisocyanide (TosMIC) in the presence of the base was employed to afford the target heterocycles in good to high yields. The process is characterized by high stereo‐ and chemoselectivity. The stereochemistry of the 4,5‐dihydrooxazoles is unambiguously proved by the combination of NMR and quantum chemical calculational methods. The formation of the oxazole cycle occurs via nucleophilic attack of TosMIC on the carbonyl moiety, followed by intramolecular cyclization with participation of the isocyanide fragment.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
