Abstract
The halogen dance reaction was investigated on the oxazole system for the first time. Various 5-substituted 4-bromo-2-phenyloxazole derivatives are accessible via this convenient methodology.
Key words
halogen dance - metalation - lithiation - oxazole

General Procedure for the Halogen Dance Reaction: A freshly prepared solution of LDA (1.5 equiv) in anhyd THF (10 mL) was added to a solution of 5-bromo-2-phenyloxazole (1 ; 1 equiv) in anhyd THF at -80 °C under nitrogen. The reaction was monitored by TLC, once the reaction had reached completion (after 15-30 min,) the corresponding electrophile (1.5 equiv in 5 mL anhyd THF) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm to 0 °C over 1 h. Water was added to this solution and 2/3 of the THF was removed under reduced pressure. The mixture was extracted with CH2 Cl2 and washed with sat. NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2 SO4 , filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography.
