Abstract

Alkyl aryl ketones were successfully converted into the corresponding 2,5-disubstituted and 2,4,5-trisubstituted oxazoles in good to moderate yields in a one-pot manner, utilizing iodine, Oxone®, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in nitriles under transition-metal-free conditions. The present method could be used for the preparation of Oxaprozin from benzyl phenyl ketone and succinonitrile. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed in which the key intermediates were α-iodoalkyl aryl ketones and α-iodosylalkyl aryl ketones.
