Abstract
An efficient method for the one‐pot synthesis of 2‐oxazolines from ethyl α‐cyanocinnamate derivatives with N‐bromoacetamide in the presence of K3PO4 has been developed. The reaction performed smoothly and cleanly to give 2‐oxazolines in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) within 4.5 h in acetone at room temperature without protection of inert gases. A total of 13 examples have been investigated. A possible nucleophilic addition reaction mechanism is proposed.
