Acylic 1,2-amido alcohols (6) react efficiently with a slight excess of (diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride (DAST) to afford the corresponding 2-oxazolines (10) in good yields ranging between 57-95percent.Even at the low temperature of -78 deg C, a rapid ( 1 h) and stereoselective amide cyclization is observed without formation of acylaziridine by-products.The scope of this cyclization is discussed.
