Synthesis of Oxazolidin-2-ones by Oxidative Coupling of Isonitriles, Phenyl Vinyl Selenone, and Water
Abstract
Reaction of alkyl isocyanides, phenyl vinyl selenone, and water in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cs2 CO3 afforded oxazolidin-2-ones in good yields. This unprecedented heteroannulation process created four chemical bonds in a single operation with the isocyano group acting formally as a polarized double bond and phenyl vinyl selenone as a latent 1,3-dipole. The phenylselenonyl group played a triple role as an electron-withdrawing group to activate the 1,4-addition, a leaving group, and a latent oxidant in this transformation.
Keywords: annulation; domino reactions; isocyanide; oxazolidinone; selenium.
