Abstract
A resource saving protocol for the synthesis of 5-fluoromethyl-2-oxazolines by using electrochemistry has been realized. Thereby, a hypervalent iodine species I(III) is generated by anodic oxidation in the presence of Et3N·5HF and mediates the cyclization of N-allylcarboxamide to 5-fluoromethyl-2-oxazoline. This method allows application to various substrates furnishing the 2-oxazolines with yields up to 68%. The protocol is easy to conduct under constant current conditions offering a sustainable alternative over conventional reagent-based pathways.Entities:
