Abstract
A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of 2-aryl-5-alkyl-substituted oxazoles has been developed. A series of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles were synthesized in a single step by Cs2CO3-mediated reactions of aromatic primary amides with 2,3-dibromopropene.
Key words
substituted oxazole - aromatic primary amide - 2,3-dibromopropene - cesium carbonate - dimethylsulfoxide
