Abstract

Starting from commercially available halonitropyridines and haloaminopyridines, 2-substituted-oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridines, and 2-aryl-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines were synthesized in good yields by using a Cu(I)-mediated cyclization of halopyridylamides as a key step.

Key words

copper-catalyzed cyclization - synthesis - heterocycles - oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridines - oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines

Typical Procedure for the Synthesis and Purification of 3a
To a mixture of 2a (2.0 mmol), CuI (0.1 mmol), N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine (0.2 mmol), and K₂CO₃ (4.0 mmol) was added dry toluene (5.0 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was refluxed for 12 h and then allowed to cool to r.t. The crude mixture was added to 10 mL H₂O and then was extracted by CH₂Cl₂ (2 × 20 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhyd Na₂SO₄ and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product, which was further purified by flash chromatography over silica gel column with PE-EtOAc (5:1) to give the pure product 3a.
