Abstract

Treatment of N-propargylamides with 5 mol% of silver hexafluoroantimonate results in the rapid formation of oxazolines in essentially quantitative yield.

Key words

General Procedure for the Preparation of Methylene Oxazolines from N -Propargylamides:
The amide (1 mmol) was placed in a dry flask with CH2Cl2 (2 mL). AgSbF6 (5 mol%) was added in one portion with magnetic stirring. After 5-10 min, TLC showed no starting material. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and washed with CH2Cl2. The filtrate was evaporated to afford the pure (1H NMR) product.

13

The starting amides were prepared by the reaction of amines with acid chlorides.

14

The conversion of 8 into 9 required 15 min with 2% catalyst, 1 h with 1% catalyst and 28 h with 0.1% catalyst, all reactions being conducted at r.t.
