title: Zn/Sc bimetallic relay catalysis: one pot cycloisomerization/carbonyl-ene reaction toward oxazole derivatives.
abstract: A novel tandem metal relay catalytic system combining Zn(II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization and a Sc(III)-catalyzed carbonyl-ene reaction has been successfully developed. By using this unprecedented Zn/Sc bimetallic relay catalytic system, a variety of oxazole derivatives were obtained from easily available N-(propargyl)arylamides and aldehydes under mild conditions.
