Abstract
A mild and efficient [3+2] cyclization of siloxyalkynes for the synthesis of aromatic heterocycles is developed. It is a new addition to the cyclization reactions of these versatile species. In the presence of TBAF as promoter, siloxyalkynes react with electron-withdrawing isocyanides to form a range of oxazole products. In this reaction, siloxyalkynes contribute the C–O unit for the cyclization, which is different from previous typical examples where it is a two-carbon contributor. Mechanistic studies provided insights into the mechanism, which involves a ketene intermediate. Based on the mechanistic insight, an alternative catalytic system was also demonstrated to be effective for the same transformation.

- 9 5-Pentyl-4-tosyl-1,3-oxazole (3a); Typical Procedure CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was added to a 10 mL vial charged with isocyanide 1a (0.4 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at r.t. under N2. Siloxyalkyne 2a (0.48 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and a 1.0 M solution of TBAF in THF (0.4 mmol, 1.0 equiv) were added sequentially, and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 4 h. Next, H2O (5 mL) was added, and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography [silica gel, hexanes–EtOAc (10:1)] to give a pale-yellow semisolid; yield: 97.9 mg (83%).
