Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oxazole compounds, and in particular to an oxazole compound and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Oxazole compounds are widely found in numerous natural products and form the core backbone of many pharmaceutical and bioactive molecules. Due to their unique chemical structure, oxazoles have broad applications in a variety of fields, including fluorescent dyes, OLED materials, pharmaceuticals, catalysts, functional polymers, and chemical probes. Consequently, the synthesis of oxazoles has attracted considerable attention. Numerous methods exist for the preparation of oxazoles, including the classic Robinson-Gabriel synthesis, which involves the dehydration of 2-acylaminoketones; the Fischer synthesis, which involves the reaction of cyanohydrins with aldehydes; and the Bredereck and Van Leusen reactions.

[0003] The oxidative cyclization of α-aminoketone hydrochlorides with aldehydes to form oxazoles is a popular and practically applicable method. This not only constitutes an important route for the synthesis of oxazoles but also offers significant synthetic advantages. However, currently reported methods for the oxidation of α-aminoketone hydrochlorides with aldehydes to oxazoles typically require the use of expensive oxidants, often using a significant excess of the α-aminoketone hydrochloride, and requiring large amounts of iodine as the oxidant (C.-F. Wan, L.-F. Gao, Q. Wang, J.-T. Zhang, Z.-Y. Wang, Org. Lett. 12 (2010) 3902−3905). Existing synthetic methods often suffer from issues such as excessive reagent use, removal of oxidant reduction products, product separation and purification, catalyst cost control and recovery, and removal of organic impurities.
