Simple one-pot methods for preparation of 2-oxazolines have been developed using 4-(4, 6- dimethoxy-1, 3, 5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMT-MM). Treatment of a mixture of carboxylic acids and 2-haloethylammonium salts with DMT-MM in methanol followed by refluxing in the presence of KOH gives oxazolines.
