Crabe interrupted: Propargylamines 1 react with a-isocyanoacetamides 2 in the presence of zinc bromide to afford vinyl oxazoles 3. The transformation, wherein the propargylamine acts as a vinyl cation synthetic equivalent, involves a domino sequence incorporating a 1,5-hydride shift, intermolecular trapping/cyclization, and a 1,6-elimination
