Abstract
2-Propyloxazole (VI) was obtained in a number of steps starting from butyronit rile. The hydrazide and amide were obtained from ethyl 2-propyloxazole-4-carboxylate; the amide was converted to the nitrile, from which the thioamide and amidoxime were obtained by the usual method. Attempts to convert VI to 2-propylisonicotinic acid or its nitrile by the reaction of VI with acrylic acid or acrylonitrile did not give positive results.
