Abstract

A solvent-free route for the photooxygenation of the 5-methoxyoxazoles (1) is described. The substrates were embedded in nanosized polystyrene particles generated by the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene with divinylbenzene and porphyrine dyes as cross-polymerizable reagents. From the photooxygenation of , the 1,2,4-dioxazoles (2) were formed and isolated from the reaction cavities by ethanol extraction. From comparison of the substrate conversions, the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation from the porphyrine dyestuff and the stability of the sensitizing material were estimated.
