This study presents triphenylphosphine catalyzed process for the synthesis of azlactones and their derivatives using hippuric and substituted aromatic aldehydes. The methodology also found to be effective for the synthesis of azlactones from 5-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1,2-oxazol-4-yl carbonyl amino acetic acid and offers several advantages such as solvent-free conditions, excellent yields, simple procedure, mild conditions, and reduced environmental consequences.
