Abstract

5-Ethoxyoxazoles or 2-acylamino propanoates were synthesized by aza-Wittig reaction of iminophosphorane with acyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. Reactions of 5-alkoxyoxazole with triphenyphosphine produced iminophosphoranes. A tandem aza-Wittig reaction of iminophosphorane with isocyanate or carbon disulfide generated oxazolo[3,2-c]quinazolines in satisfactory yields.

Key words

oxazole - oxazolo[3,2-c]quinazoline - aza Wittig reaction - carbodiimide - imidoyl chloride

Oxazoles 4 and 2-Acylaminopropanoates 5
To a stirred solution of azide 1 (1.0 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (10 mL) was added a solution of Ph₃P (0.26 g, 1 mmol) in dry CH₂Cl₂ (5 mL) at r.t. After the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h, acyl chloride (1.0 mmol) and Et₃N (0.30 g, 3.0 mmol) were added at r.t., and the color of the solution turned yellow. After stirring for 4 h, the mixture was filtered to remove the Et₃NHCl, and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (5:1, PE-Et₂O) to yield oxazoles 4 or
2-acylaminopropanoates 5.

Oxazolo[3,2- c ]quinazoline 10 To a solution of iminophosphorane 6 (0.46 g, 1 mmol) in MeCN (10 mL) was added CS₂ (1.50 g, 20 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 10 h, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from EtOH to give oxazolo[3,2-c]quinazoline 10; yellow crystals, mp 138-139 ˚C.
