It was found that the E-form compound 3 was transformed from the Z-form compound 4. The formation of 4 was a kinetically controlled process while the formation of 3 was a thermodynamically favorable one. A possible mechanism was given in this paper.展开更多
Several aromatic ring-substituted N-acetyl-phenylalanine methyl esters were treated with POCl3 in refluxing benzene, which is the typical condition of B-N reaction.

It was found that the normal B-N product 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester and/or 5-benzyl-2-methyl-4-methoxy oxazole could be obtained. The result depended mainly upon the electron-donating property of the substitutes on the benzene ring. Strong electron-donating groups located at para- or ortho- to the cyclization site will facilitate the formation of the normal B-N product 2. On the other hand, the absence or weak electron-donating groups tended to yield the oxazole product 3. It was established that the formation of benzyl oxazole is the competitive path with the B-N reaction. In this article, an explanation was given based on the mechanism of Bishler-Napieralski reaction.展开更多
