Abstract

Abstract Multicomponent reactions are attractive for assembling functionalized heterocyclic compounds. To this end, an efficient gold-catalyzed three-component domino reaction to form oxazoles directly from imines, alkynes, and acid chlorides is presented. The reaction proceeds in a single synthetic step by using a gold (III)–N, N′-ethylenebis (salicylimine)(salen) catalyst to give trisubstituted oxazoles in up to 96% yield. The ...
