Abstract

Abstract A practical and simple synthesis of 2, 5-disubstituted oxazoles was developed via a TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide)/I 2-mediated domino strategy. The reaction proceeds in series, giving rise to the formation of an intermolecular C–N bond and an intramolecular C– O bond, which yield oxazole derivatives simultaneously. The reaction gave the desired products from readily available substrates under mild conditions.
