Abstract
A novel atom economical diastereoselective synthesis of 5-iminooxazolines and their subsequent transformation to α,α-disubstituted dipeptide esters is described. Heating a mixture of cyclohexyl isocyanide and Z-α-benzoyl amino-acrylic acid alkyl esters under solvent-free conditions, afforded 5-iminooxazolines, which, upon specifications provided α,α-disubstituted dipeptide esters in good yield.
