Rd. Puts et Dy. Sogah, FACILE ALKYLATION OF 2-METHYL-2-OXAZOLINE - SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL 2-SUBSTITUTED-2-OXAZOLINES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(32), 1994, pp. 5779-5782
The synthesis, mechanism of formation and purification of new oxazolin
es containing binaphthyl and biphenyl moieties based on alkylation of
2-methyl-2-oxazoline with alkyl halides are described. Yields up to 87
% have been realized, and the method is applicable to the syntheses of
other 2-Substituted-2-oxazolines.
