A general method is presented for synthesis of 2-(methylthio)-5-substituted oxazoles 2. Deprotonation of the readily available 2-(methylthio)oxazole (1) with n-BuLi occurs smoothly in the presence of TMEDA and regiospecifically at C5. The organometallic 1a added rapidly to aldehydes and other electrophiles to provide 5-substituted-2-(methylthio)oxazoles in very good to excellent yields. Reductive removal of the MeS group gave the desired 5-monosubstituted oxazoles 3 in good yield.
本文介绍了一种合成2-(甲硫基)-5-取代恶唑2的通用方法。在四甲基乙二胺(TMEDA)存在下,用正丁基锂(n-BuLi)对易于获得的2-(甲硫基)恶唑(1)进行去质子化反应,反应顺利进行,且区域特异性地发生在C5位。有机金属化合物1a迅速与醛和其他亲电试剂反应,以非常好至优异的产率提供5-取代-2-(甲硫基)恶唑。通过还原去除甲硫基(MeS)基团,以良好的产率得到所需的5-单取代恶唑3。
