Oxazoles and Oxazolines Yokokawa (Synthetic Lett., 1992, 2, 153) has recently described the preparation and cyclization of N-acylserine ester derivatives to give 2-substituted-4,5-dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylate esters which, after oxidation, give the corresponding 2-substituted-oxazole-4-carboxylate esters. By inference, N-acylation of serine methyl ester with t-butoxyacetic acid, followed by cyclization, oxidation, deprotection and conversion to the chloride by standard methods should give methyl 2-(chloromethyl)oxazole-4-carboxylate, as outlined in Scheme XX below. Eliminiation of the oxidation step will give the corresponding oxazoline. ##STR52##
