Abstract
Nitriles are shown to react with C,N-diacylimines 2, generated in situ from 1 or 4 in the presence of Lewis acids, to produce 4-amidooxazoles 5 and 6 in good to excellent yield. Diamides are sometimes also produced. The reaction was followed by NMR spectroscopy, and mechanistic pathways are discussed.
