Continuous Flow Electroselenocyclization of Allylamides and Unsaturated Oximes to Selenofunctionalized Oxazolines and Isoxazolines

Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The synthesis of selenofunctionalized oxazolines and isoxazolines from N -allyl benzamides and unsaturated oximes with diselenides was studied by utilizing a continuous flow electrochemical approach. At mild reaction conditions and short reaction times of 10 min product yields of up to 90% were achieved including a scale-up reaction. A broad substrate scope was studied and the reaction was shown to have a wide functional group tolerance.
