Base Induced Intramolecular Cyclization of Ã-Ketoimidoyl Chloride—An Efficient Preparation of 2-ACYL 5-Ethoxy Oxazoles

Abstract
The Ã-ketoimidoyl chlorides resulted from the reaction of acyl chlorides with ethyl isocyanoacetate provides 2-acyl 5-ethoxyoxazoles in moderate yields via a base-induced intramolecular cyclization.
