•A new facile synthesis of trisubstituted oxazoles starting from azides was developed.•Some of the oxazole derivatives showed reasonable fluorescence.•The 2,5-diaryl substituted oxazoles gave The greatest fluorescence intensity.A new facile synthesis of trisubstituted oxazoles starting from azides was developed. The reactions of azides with triphenyl phosphine afforded the corresponding 2,4,5-trisubstituted oxazole derivatives via tandem Staudinger, aza-Wittig and isomerization reaction either thermally or under basic conditions. Properties of the oxazole derivatives were surveyed and some of the examples showed reasonable fluorescence. The greatest fluorescence intensity was observed when the 2- and the 5- substituents on the oxazole ring were aromatic groups (with ε = 2.3–3.0 × 104 mol−1 dm3 cm−1 and Φ = 0.25–0.29 relative to quinine sulphate). However, the fluorescence intensity was diminished when either the 2- or the 5-substituent was H or alkyl.Download high-res image (112KB)Download full-size image

The catalytic intramolecular Wittig reactions of carbonyl-containing bromides are reported. The R3PO byproducts participate in the catalytic cycle; therefore, the Wittig reaction can be accomplished with only a catalytic amount of organophosphorus reagent. The reaction has also been applied to the efficient and selective synthesis of isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones, indoles, 2,3-dihydro-1H-2-benzazepin-1-ones, benzofurans, and 1,2-dihydroquinolines with a catalytic amount of phosphine oxide (0.1 equiv.) and a tetramethyldisiloxane/titanium isopropoxide [TMDS/Ti(OiPr)4] reductant system (yields: 35–88 %).

A new one-pot four component synthesis of multisubstituted oxazoles by a cascade Ugi/Wittig process without Mumm rearrangement has been developed, starting from the isocyano(triphenylphosphora-nylidene)acetates, aldehydes, amines and acids. Two component reactions of isocyano(triphenylphosphoranylidene)-acetates and acids also generated disubstituted oxazoles in good yields.

Compared to the aza-Wittig reaction of aldehydes, ketones, amides, and esters, the aza-Wittig reaction of acid anhydride was always overlooked, which should be an important part of Wittig reactions. Here, the aza-Wittig reaction of anhydride and catalytic aza-Wittig reaction of anhydride were both developed with high yields, which provides an efficient method to synthesize of 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-ones and 4-benzylidene-2-aryloxazol-5(4H)-ones. The strategy of copper-catalyzed reduction of phosphine oxide was used and found effective for this transformation. Additionally, the one-pot catalytic aza-Wittig reaction of carboxylic acids was achieved. Furthermore, NMR experiments and Hammett plot recorded the process of catalytic aza-Wittig reaction of anhydride, which provides direct proof that the copper-catalyzed reduction of waste phosphine oxide is the key step in this transformation.Keywords: anhydride; carboxylic acids; catalytic aza-Wittig reaction
