An efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-oxazolines with molecular iodine under ultrasound irradiation

Abstract

A series of 2-oxazolines were prepared by the condensation of aldehydes with 2-aminoethanol in the presence of molecular iodine and potassium carbonate in t-BuOH at 35-40°C under ultrasound irradiation. The easy work-up procedure and moderate to good yields are the advantages of this methodology.
