Popis: An operationally simple, economical and straightforward synthesis of diverse oxazoles from oximes possessing a vicinal carbonyl group has been achieved by treatment of the latter with terminal diazo compounds like ethyl/benzyl diazoacetate and diazoacetophenone (which act as carbenoids) in one pot. At least two reducible functional groups (two ester groups or cyano + ester) are simultaneously introduced in one step. This reaction involves expulsion of a molecule each of N 2 and water only as byproducts under copper catalysis. The structure of one of these oxazoles is confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Both the ester groups in the oxazole product could be reduced to alcohol moieties by using NaBH 4 /EtOH.
