A variety
of 1,2,4-oxadiazoline derivatives were synthesized in
moderate to good yields through a deoxygenative cyclization cascade
reaction of N-vinyl-α,β-unsaturated nitrones
and hydroxamoyl chlorides. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction
underwent double additions of nitrile oxides to N-vinyl-α,β-unsaturated nitrones, sequential elimination,
and intramolecular cyclization to afford 1,2,4-oxadiazolines. Alternatively,
1,2,5-oxadiazolines were also obtained as major products in i-PrOH solvent through [3 + 3] cycloaddition and selective
[3,3]-rearrangement. Moreover, the prepared 1,2,4-oxadiazolines were
easily converted to polysubstituted pyrroles under thermal conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
