Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: Ethyl oxazole-5-carboxylate, is researched, Molecular C6H7NO3, CAS is 118994-89-1, about Synthetic studies on bengazoles of marine sponge origin. Synthesis of the core bis-oxazole fragments.Reference of Ethyl oxazole-5-carboxylate.
The core bis-oxazole fragment I (R = OCH2OMe, R1 = CHO) was constructed by the coupling of 5-formyloxazole with lithiated 5-(silyoxymethyl)oxazoles, oxidation of the resulting bis(oxazolyl)methanol (II), followed by the asym. reduction with (R)-(+)-BINAL-H as key steps. Addnl., preparation of bis-oxazole fragment I (R = H, R1 = CH2OSiPh2CMe3) was accomplished by the Barton-McCombie radical deoxygenation reaction of II.
