title: Metal-induced tautomerization of oxazole and thiazole molecules to heterocyclic carbenes.
abstract: Oxazole and thiazole molecules N-coordinated to manganese(i) are transformed into their corresponding 2,3-dihydrooxazol-2-ylidene and 2,3-dihydrothiazol-2-ylidene carbene tautomers by acid-base reactions, and subsequently transmetalated to gold(i), via isolable heterometallic intermediates.
