摘要
The lithiation of 2-methyloxazoles with alkyllithium and hindered lithium amide bases generally results in the competitive formation of a mixture of 5-lithio- and 2-(lithiomethyl)oxazole isomers. Herein a synthetically useful lithiation method which allows for the selective formation of 2-(lithiomethyl)oxazole is described. Diethylamine has been found to be a kinetically competent proton source that will mediate the equilibration of the kinetically formed 5-lithiooxazole to its more stable 2-(lithiomethyl)oxazole counterpart. Application of this metalation strategy with lithium diethylamide to two important bond constructions relevant to a projected phorboxazole synthesis is presented.
