Preparation of Functionalized Oxazolines

Abstract

Abstract The preparation of several oxazolines substituted at C-2 by an hetero substituted methyl group is reported. 2-Aminomethyl, 2-azidomethyl, 2-nitromethyl and 2-hydroxymethyl oxazolines were obtained by substitution of the corresponding 2-halogenomethyl oxazolines. On the other hand, 2-benzyloxycarbonylaminomethyl, 2-thiophenylmethyl, 2-selenophenylmethyl oxazolines were prepared by condensation of the appropriate iminoether with a β-aminoalcohol.
