14. The mechanism for the formation of the oxazole 3 in the presence of TMPD is not known at the present stage, though we suppose that 3 is at least partly formed through the reaction of 1* with MeCN.

20. The yield of the oxazole 3 depended complicatedly on [TMPD]; the yield of 3 increased from 12% to 19% upon addition of TMPD (0.5 mM), and decreased gradually to 15% with increasing [TMPD] to 5 mM.
