Abstract
2-Methyl-5-aryloxazole and 2-ethyl-5-aryloxazole derivatives were smoothly and efficiently obtained in one-pot manner from alkyl aryl ketones with iodoarene, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in acetonitrile and propionitrile, respectively. In these reactions, iodoarene works as a catalyst.
