Abstract

The reaction of ketone oximes with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) carried out in an autoclave at 180-190" C and in the presence of KzCO3 yields 3-methyl-4, 5-disubstituted-4-oxazolin-2- ones. The reaction can be applied to both aliphatic and aromatic ketone oximes, provided that a methylene group be present near the CN bond. Nonoptimized yields range from 22 to 48%. The reaction seems to be a [3, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement where DMC plays a ...
