title: Catalyst-free intramolecular oxidative cyclization of N-allylbenzamides: a new route to 2,5-substituted oxazoles.
abstract: A catalyst-free intramolecular oxidative cyclization reaction of N-allylbenzamides has been developed to prepare 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles with good yields. This reaction gives an efficient synthetic strategy to form an oxazole nucleus directly from easily accessible substrates under temperate conditions.
