Abstract

A formal phosphine-mediated [4 + 1]-cycloaddition between a 1,2-dicarbonyl and an aroyl isocyanate to provide oxazolones bearing a disubstituted C5 center is described. By exploiting the carbene-like reactivity of oxyphosphonium enolates as C1 synthons and aroyl isocyanates as formal 1,4-dipoles, oxazolones and spiroooxindole oxazolones are constructed in high yields (39–99%).
