The 4-(N,N-dimethylaminomethylene)-2-alkyl-2-oxazolin-5-ones 4 have been sy
nthesised from N-acyl-alpha -amino acids 2 and methyl esters 3 with Vilsmei
er-Haack reagent. The reaction of oxazolones 4a,c with primary alkylamines
7 in acetonitrile takes place at exocyclic olefinic carbon to afford substi
tuted product 4-alkylaminomethylene-2-alkyl-2-oxazolin 5-ones 8, whereas th
e reaction of oxazolones 4a-d with hydrazine hydrate gives cyclised product
4-acylamino-5-hydroxypyrazoles 9a-d, respectively. The methanolysis of oxa
zolones 4c,d with sodium methoxide in methanol takes place at lactone carbo
nyl carbon to give methyl 2-acylamino-3-dimethylaminopropenoates 12c,d. How
ever, the ethanolysis with sodium ethoxide in ethanol occurrs at exocyclic
carbon to afford 4-hydroxymethylene-2-oxazolin-5-ones 14c,d and N-acyl-alph
a -amino acids 15c,d at room and reflux temperature, respectively.
