Abstract A novel method for the direct conversion of deoxybenzoin into 2‐alkyl‐4,5‐diphenyloxazoles and 2‐aryl‐4,5‐diphenyloxazoles has been developed using treatment of HTIB and nitriles under solvent‐free microwave irradiation conditions. Keywords: hypervalent iodinemicrowaveoxazolesolvent‐free Acknowledgments This research was supported by Chung‐Ang University Research Grant in 2007.
