Substituted oxazol-5-ylethanones can be synthesized in a consecutive
three-component sequence starting from propargylamine and various
acid chlorides, both for amidation and cross-coupling. Therefore,
this diversity-oriented one-pot approach to substituted oxazoles
can be considered as an amidation-coupling-cycloisomerization (ACCI)
sequence.
