Abstract
An atom economical method for the preparation of variously substituted 4H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]oxazoles was developed on the basis of thermal isomerization of 5-(2H-azirin-2-yl)oxazoles. The latter were prepared by Rh2(oct)4 catalyzed reaction of 2-(3-aryl/heteroaryl)-2-diazoacetyl-2H-azirines with a set of substituted acetonitriles, benzonitriles, acrylonitrile and fumaronitrile. According to DFT calculations the transformation of 5-(2H-azirin-2-yl)oxazole to 4H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]oxazole occurs through the nitrenoid-like transition state to give a 3aH-pyrrolo[2,3-d]oxazole intermediate, followed by 1,5-H-shift.
