Abstract

The use of iodosobenzene (PhIO) as an oxidant realizes an intermolecular oxidative C(sp2)-O bond formation between enamines and various carboxylic acids, including N-protected amino acids. This direct β-acyloxylation of enamine compounds tolerates a wide range of functional groups and furnishes various β-acyloxy enamines that can be conveniently converted to oxazoles via cyclodehydration.
