Abstract
Oxazoles substituted in their 2-positions with 2-methoxy-, 2-fluoro-, or 2,6-difluorophenyl groups, and in their 4,5-positions with methyls or phenyls, were treated with ArMgBr or ArLi to give substituted biphenyl or terphenyl products. The oxazole groups were subsequently converted to esters, acids, or amides. These reactions provide a new unsymmetrical aryl-aryl coupling synthon.
