Abstract

A novel palladium-catalyzed approach for the assembly of 3, 4, 5-trisubstituted oxazolones has been achieved by the coupling of N-alkynyl tert-butyloxycarbamates with aryl halides and related electrophiles, which involves an oxidative addition followed by oxypalladation/ reductive elimination. The reaction provides a convenient access to diversely substituted oxazolones in satisfactory yields and shows good functional group compatibility.
