Atom-efficient and environmentally benign syntheses of title amides [(III) and (V)] and benzoxazoles [(VII) and (IX)] are accomplished by an improved protocol using acetaldoxime instead of H2O as hydrolysis agent to facilitate the operation of the reaction. A reaction mechanism is proposed. -(ZHANG, D.-X.; XIANG*, S.-K.; HU, H.; TAN, W.; FENG, C.; WANG, B.-Q.; ZHAO, K.-Q.; HU, P.; YANG, H.; Tetrahedron 69 (2013) 47, 10022-10029, http://dx.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
