A direct method to construct 2-oxazolines and 2-thiazolines from corresponding allylic amides and thioamides is reported. The redox-neutral intramolecular hydrofunctionalization is enabled by a dual catalyst system comprised of the 9-mesityl-<i>N</i>-methyl acridinium tetrafluoroborate and phenyl disulphide and exhibits complete selectivity for the <i>anti</i>-Markovnikov regioisomeric products. The cyclization of allylic thioamides is postulated to operate via a modified mechanism in which oxid ...[more]
