title: Synthetic studies toward diazonamide A. A novel approach for polyoxazole synthesis.
abstract: [Reaction in text]The indole-bisoxazole fragment of diazonamide A was prepared by a Chan-type rearrangement of a tertiary amide. This approach represents a remarkably direct strategy for polyoxazole synthesis.
