Abstract

Dehydrogenative cycloisomerization/arylation sequence of heteroatom nucleophile-tethered unactivated alkynes provides a facile and powerful approach to C−C bond formation between the generated heterocycles and unfunctionalized arenes. Here, we describe a hypervalent iodine(III)-catalyzed synthesis of oxazoles concomitant with the introduction of aryl groups into side chain from N-propargyl carboxamides and arenes, representing first C(sp3)−C(sp2) bond formation by the catalytic dehydrogenative cycloisomerization/arylation reaction in exo-dig modes. (Figure presented.).
