Abstract
An MCM-41-immobilized phosphine-gold(I) complex as catalyst enables a [2 + 2 + 1] annulation of terminal alkynes, nitriles, and oxygen atoms using 8-methylquinoline N-oxide as oxidant under mild conditions to provide 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles in very good yields with broad substrate scope. The heterogeneous catalyst can easily be recovered by simple filtration and recycled for at least eight times without significant loss of activity.
