1,3-Oxazoline- and 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thiones as substrates in direct modified Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling

1,3-Oxazoline- (OXT) and 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thiones (OZT) can undergo direct Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions under microwave activation to produce 2-aryloxazoles and 2-aryloxazolines in reasonable to good yields.
