Several other natural products containing more than two contiguous oxazoles are also known, including the mycalolides, ulapualides, and kabiramides - which have three directly linked oxazole rings - and telomestatin, which has seven.

51. Williams carried out semiempirical calculations also suggesting that the ring-lithiated intermediate was thermodynamically favored due to chelation with the adjacent oxazole nitrogen. See ref 15.

73. As an additional benefit, product 47b could be reduced to the corresponding aldehyde in a single step using DIBAL-H, whereas attempted reduction of 47a and 48a always gave significant amounts of overreduction to the primary alcohols, which would necessitate a two-step reduction/oxidation sequence.
