title: Copper(II)-mediated oxidative cyclization of enamides to oxazoles.
abstract: The copper(II)-mediated oxidative cyclization of enamides to oxazoles is reported. A range of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles were prepared in moderate to good yields in two steps from simple amide and alkyne precursors.
