50. In general, Lewis acid catalysts are required to direct the attack of nucleophiles toward the more substituted carbon of an epoxide (see: Mordini, A.; Bindi, S.; Pecchi, S.; Capperucci, A.; Degl'Innocenti, A.; Reginato, G. J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 4466-4468). However, on the basis of Baldwin's rules and biaryl activation of the epoxide, we felt that the greater preference of 5-exo-tet cyclization compared to the competing 6-endo-tet reaction would afford the desired product in this case.

It is important to note that no other oxazole-forming protocols attempted [such as Martin's sulfurane or the previously used conditions from the Wipf group (ref 38)] succeeded on this substrate. This issue would prove problematic throughout the course of our diazonamide program.
