In recent years we have focused on the preparation of B-ring functionalized phenanthroline derivatives for potential application in supramolecular chemistry. This presentation will highlight our efforts to re-aromatize the B-ring through oxidative methods. Among others, aminoalcohol intermediates containing a N-methylene moiety gave rise to the corresponding oxazoles by using activated manganese oxide. Over 30 new compounds were derived from aliphatic and aromatic amines and characterized.
