Abstract

Alkyl 2-diazo-3-oxoalkanoates generate alkoxycarbonylketenes, which undergo an electrophilic ring expansion with aziridines to afford alkyl 2-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkanoates in good to excellent yields under microwave irradiation. The method can be also applied in the synthesis of 2-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkanamides and 1-(oxazolin-2-yl)alkylphosphonates.

Keywords: aziridine; diazooxoester; diazo compound; ketene; oxazoline; ring expansion
