Abstract

Current interest in our laboratory1 in the use of microwave2 energy led us to investigate it use for the synthesis of azlactones which are important synthons for biologically active m0lecules. 7~~ A literature survey showed that arylidene oxazolones have been prepared by the condensation of hippuric acid with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of catalyst such as acetic anhydride and sodium a~ etate,~ potassium carbonate? zinc chloride7 and ...
