ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an industrially advantageous production method for forming a carbon-carbon bond at the 5-position of oxazole.
BACKGROUND ART
There are various production methods (e.g. WO97/36882) of compounds having a carbon substituent (a group bonded via a carbon) bonded at the 5-position of oxazole. Most of them require introduction of a necessary carbon substituent before constructing an oxazole ring. However, the starting material usable for the production method is limited and the synthesis thereof is associated with difficulty.
In view of the above, the development of an easy and simple method for introducing a carbon substituent into the 5-position of oxazole is highly significant, and finding of a reaction permitting direct formation of a carbon-carbon bond on an oxazole having no substituent at the 5-position is extremely significant.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in an attempt to introduce a carbon substituent into the 5-position of oxazole and found for the first time that a reaction of an oxazole having no substituent at the 5-position (particularly one having an oxo group or amino group at the 2-position) with olefin in the presence of an acid or base unexpectedly results in an easy reaction with the olefin and the formation of a carbon-carbon bond at the 5-position of the oxazole, based on which they investigated further and completed the present invention.
