b-Hydroxy amides 6 and 7 were treated with triphenylphosphonium anhydride trifluoromethane sulfonate (3), or the cyclic analogue 4, to generate 2-oxazolines 5 and 8 under mild conditions. The reaction was optimised by examining the number of equivalents of reagents 3 or 4, or diisopropylethylamine required to best effect cyclisation. The effects of altering the reaction temperature, reaction time, concentration, solvent, and addition rate also were investigated. However, it was found that use of a trityl group to block reaction at the hydroxyl or thiol group of the starting amides, and subsequent in situ detritylation, in ...

However, it was found that use of a trityl group to block reaction at the hydroxyl or thiol group of the starting amides, and subsequent in situ detritylation, in the absence of base, led to greatly improved yields. Reagent 4 offered significant advantages in the purification of products and was used to dehydrate a range of trityl derivatives to form simple oxazolines, thiazolines, and a dihydro-1,3-oxazine, in high yield (85-99%), as well as a tetrahydro-1,3-oxazepine (31%).
