Reaction for preparation of a new series of 5-acylaminooxazole-4-carboxamides has been found. 5-Acetamidooxazole-4-carboxamides were obtained by heating 2-acylamino-2- cyanoacetamides with acetic anhydride in the presence of perchloric acid. Analogous 5-form- amido derivatives were also obtained by heating the same substrates with a mixture of formic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of hydrochloric acid. Trials for synthesis ...
