title: Facile synthesis of polysubstituted oxazoles via a copper-catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization.
abstract: A highly efficient synthesis of polysubstituted oxazoles was developed via a copper-catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization. The desired products can be obtained from readily available starting materials under mild conditions. This is an attractive alternative method for the synthesis of oxazole derivatives.
