title: Ruthenium- and gold-catalysed sequential reactions: a straightforward synthesis of substituted oxazoles from propargylic alcohols and amides.
abstract: A convenient and straightforward one-pot reaction of propargylic alcohols bearing a terminal alkyne moiety with amides by the sequential action of ruthenium and gold catalysts gives the corresponding substituted oxazoles in good yields with a complete regioselectivity.
