Synthesis of vinyl-functionalized oxazoles by olefin cross-metathesis.
A ruthenium-based catalyzed olefin cross-methathesis reaction involving 2- and 4-vinyl-functionalized oxazoles was developed. A wide range of olefinic partners was coupled in good to excellent yields and high stereoselectivities under mild conditions. This methodology offers new opportunities for the synthesis of a plethora of biologically active natural products.
