Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Copper iodide catalyzes the conjugate addition of organometallic and heteroatom nucleophiles to isocyano enones to afford oxazoles. A range of enolates, metalated nitriles, amines, and thiols undergo catalyzed conjugate addition to cyclic and acyclic oxoalkene isocyanides. Mechanistic studies suggest that copper complexation facilitates the nucleophilic attack on the isocyano enone to generate an enolate that cyclizes onto the isocyanide leading to a variety of substituted acyclic or ring-fused Oxazoles.
