“…Subjecting 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde and TosMIC to the standard reaction conditions yielded 5-(2-tosylquinolin-3-yl)oxazole ( 6a ) in 83% yield after 8 h (Scheme 2). Notably, sulfones are present in different bioactive compounds (Metzner and Thuillier, 1994; Fang et al, 2016); however, well-known sulfonylating agents include sulfonyl halides (Tocco et al, 2013; Zhang et al, 2015), sulfonyl hydrazides (Yuan et al, 2018; Zhang et al, 2018), and sodium sulfinate (Sun et al, 2017; Smith et al, 2018). A few studies used TosMIC as a sulfonyl precursor (Liu et al, 2014; Phanindrudu et al, 2016; Kadari et al, 2017).…”
