We study the appearance of structures in the decay of the B− into K−π−Ds0+(2317) and K−π−Ds1+(2460) final states by forming invariant mass distributions of π−Ds0+ and π−Ds1+ pairs, respectively. The structure in the distribution is associated to the kinematical triangle singularity that appears when the B−→K−K∗0D0 (B−→K−K∗0D∗0) decay process is followed by the decay of the K∗0 into π−K+ and the subsequent rescattering of the K+D0 (K+D∗0) pair forming the Ds0+(2317) (Ds1+(2460)) resonance. We find this type of non-resonant peaks at 2850 MeV in the invariant mass of π−Ds0 pairs from B−→K−π−Ds0+(2317) decays and around 3000 MeV in the invariant mass of π−Ds1+ pairs from B−→K−π−Ds1+(2460) decays. By employing the measured branching ratios of the B−→K−K∗0D0 and B−→K−K∗0D∗0 decays, we predict the branching ratios for the processes B− into K−π−Ds0+(2317) and K−π−Ds1+(2460), in the vicinity of the triangle singularity peak, to be about 8×10−6 and 1×10−6, respectively. The observation of this reaction would also give extra support to the molecular picture of the Ds0+(2317) and Ds1+(2460).
