The development of mild and practical strategies to produce value-added fine chemicals directly from inexpensive and readily available commodity chemicals is actively pursued by chemists, however, the application of feedstock chemical dichloromethane (DCM) as the C1 source in organic synthesis is still in its infancy. Here, the authors describe a multicomponent strategy for the chemoselective synthesis of valuable 1,4,2-dioxazoles by using DCM as a C1 source.
