Converting oxazoles into imidazoles: new opportunities for diversity-oriented synthesis.

چکیده
We report the optimization of a neglected reaction for the rapid and direct conversion of oxazoles into N-substituted imidazoles. The utility of this microwave-promoted reaction for diversity-oriented synthesis is demonstrated in the preparation of >40 N-substituted imidazoles, including α-imidazolyl esters.

Organocatalytic strategies for the construction of optically active imidazoles, oxazoles, and thiazoles.
This study demonstrates the first enantioselective synthesis of hydroxyalkyl- and aminoalkyl-substituted imidazoles, oxazoles, and thiazoles. The approach developed utilizes a highly effective one-pot reaction cascade that consists of either an organocatalytic epoxidation or aziridination of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes coupled with a [3+2]-annulation, in which amidines, ureas, or thioureas act as...
متن کاملCatalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of N-Boc-imidazoles and oxazoles.
Substituted imidazoles and oxazoles were respectively hydrogenated into the corresponding chiral imidazolines and oxazolines (up to 99% ee). The highly enantioselective hydrogenation was achieved by using the chiral ruthenium catalyst, which is generated from Ru(η(3)-methallyl)(2)(cod) and a trans-chelating chiral bisphosphine ligand, PhTRAP. This is the first successful catalytic asymmetric re...
متن کاملMechanistic Pathways in Amide Activation: Flexible Synthesis of Oxazoles and Imidazoles
The preparation of substituted aminooxazoles and aminoimidazoles from α-arylamides and α-aminoamides through triflic anhydride-mediated amide activation is reported. These reactions proceed via the intermediacy of nitrilium adducts and feature N-oxide-promoted umpolung of the α-position of amides as well as a mechanistically intriguing sequence that results in sulfonyl migration from nitrogen t...

Kaolin-SO3H as a new solid acid is prepared via reaction of kaolin and chlorosulfonic acid. This natural based catalyst is very inexpensive and easy available. Imidazoles are an important class of heterocycles being the core fragment of different natural products and biological systems such as anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, antimycotic, antibiotic, antiulcerative, anti...
متن کاملMechanism of imidazole and oxazole formation in [C-2]-labelled glycine and alanine model systems
Studies with C-2-labelled glycine and alanine in model systems containing 2,3-butanedione, glyceraldehyde or glyoxal have indicated that imidazoles and oxazoles can be formed from a-dicarbonyl compounds through Strecker reaction and subsequent formation of a-amino carbonyl reactive intermediates. These intermediates can react with any aldehyde in the reaction mixture to form an imine which in t...
