Condensation of vilsmeier salts, derived from tetraalkylureas, with α-hydroxy amide derivatives: One-pot approach to synthesize 2-dialkylamino-2-oxazolin-4-ones
A novel and straightforward synthetic protocol was developed to synthesize 2-dialkylamino-2-oxazolin-4-ones from various Vilsmeier salts and α-hydroxy amides derivatives. Notably, thozalinone (3a), as a mild stimulant in tristimania and anorexic, could be synthesized simply and in a high yield using this methodology.
