The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 2-substituted 4-trimethylsiloxyoxazoles, prepared
in situ from trimethylsilyldiazomethane and acyl isocyanates, with N-phenylmaleimide followed by treatment with a catalytic amount of 10-camphorsulfonic
acid efficiently gave bicyclic 2-pyridones in a one-pot process.
acyl isocyanates - Diels-Alder reaction - 2-pyridones - oxazoles - trimethylsilyldiazomethane
