Abstract

A novel synthesis of 2-oxazolines from diketene by using DAST via Beckmann rearrangement as been described. The route involves a one-pot amidation of diketene with different amines at 70°C in the presence of toluene to form corresponding amides followed by reacting the amides with K2CO3 and DMF at room temperature to form corresponding carboxamides and carboxylates. The carboxamides and carboxylates are then reacted with NH2OH•HCL and NaOAc in presence of ethanol and water to form Ketoximes which are then reacted in one pot synthesis with DAST and dichloromethane at room temperature to form corresponding oxazolines via Beckmann rearrangement. Ketoximes are one of the most popular functional groups and are readily prepared by a number of methods. The initial step of our study was the strategic formation of the ketoxime from carboxamides species which would then be converted to corresponding oxazolines via Beckmann rearrangement. Each new compound has been elucidated through 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The Characterization data of compound was also agrees with the molecular masses of HRMS (ESI-TOF). Indeed, all the corresponding products were obtained with a good yield. The studies utilizing this strategy for the production of oxazolines are ongoing in our laboratory. Further expansion of the substrate scope, elucidating the mechanism and exploring the applications of this transformation are now under investigation in our laboratory. We are hopeful; the synthesis of 2-oxazolines from diketene by using DAST via Beckmann rearrangement will be useful in many scientific researches.
