Abstract
An amino-assisting [3+2] cycloaddition strategy of nitrile imines
generated in situ with o-aminotrifluoroacetophenones under mild
conditions has been constructed, in which a variety of
1,3,4-oxadiazolines bearing CF3-quaternary centers can
be obtained in good to excellent yields. The MTT assay shows that the
resulting 1,3,4-oxadiazoline derivatives could be the potential
candidates for the treatments of head and neck cancers.
