- 24 Typical Experimental Procedure for the Preparation of 2,5-Oxazoles: 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-phenyloxazole (Table 2 Entry 3)I2 (1.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-benzoyl-3-(2,4-dichlorphenyl)aziridine (1.0 mmol) and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (1.0 mmol) in MeCN (10 mL). The mixture was refluxed for 2 h, cooled, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc–hexane = 2:5) to provide the desired 2-(2,4-diclorophenyl)-5-phenyloxazole (86%); yellow solid, mp 90–92 °C.
