Abstract
A simple and efficient protocol for the regioselective synthesis of 5-aminooxazoles from easily accessible N-(pivaloyloxy)amides and ynamides is catalyzed by a cheap Cp*Co(III) complex. The reaction offers mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and very good yields.
