Di-tert-butyl pyrocarbonate, on reaction with N-acyl amino acids, was found to serve the dual purpose of i) initial carboxylic acid activation-tandem cyclization through the amide carbonyl, and ii) trapping of the enol moiety thus formed, leading to a mild and efficient one-pot synthesis of 5-tert-butoxycarbonyloxy substituted oxazoles. N-Acyl anthranilic acids under similar reaction conditions afforded acylanthranils in high yields.
