• one-pot oxazole synthesis/Suzuki–Miyaura coupling sequence has been developed. One-pot formation of 5-(triazinyloxy)oxazoles using carboxylic acids, amino acids and a dehydrative condensing reagent, DMT-MM, followed by Ni-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with boronic acids provided the corresponding

• trisubstituted oxazoles. Herein, we described an efficient method for the synthesis of trisubstituted oxazoles through a one-pot oxazole synthesis and subsequent Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. Results and Discussion The study was initiated with the preparation of the key intermediate, 5-(triazinyloxy)oxazole 3, from
