Abstract

CH3 (CH2) s- Toa DEU 2 0 40 inally initiated to achieve a new synthesis of 2-unsubstituted oxazoles. We had envisaged that selenol esters could replace acid chlorides in the assembly of these heterocycles from activated isonitriles, if these reactions were conducted in the presence of a soft metal ion showing a strong affinity for selenium. This process would thuvserve as a useful modification to the standard Schollkopf oxazole~ ynthesis.~ Our ...
