Abstract
The metalation of oxazoles leads to ring opening to the isocyanoenolate that can be O-acylated to give the unsaturated isonitriles. These substances undergo conventional multicomponent reactions. The products of their reactions are readily converted to acyl substitution products by treatment with acid and a nucleophile. These unsaturated isonitriles are notable by their simple preparations and, unusually, their nonoffensive odors.Entities:
