A one-pot direct transformation to remotely CÀH alkene functionalized 2-aryl benzoxazoles from the reaction of amidophenol and electronically deficient olefin was reported. Control experiments confirm that the Pd-catalyzed regioselective CÀH activation/alkenylation occurs at the first step by leading to ortho-alkenylated amidophenol; which subsequently underwent tandem intramolecular annulation to afford C4-alkenylated 2arylbenzoxazole derivatives.
A Pd-catalyzed aerobic approach to access C4-aryl benzoxazoles by tandem C–H ortho-arylation and acid-mediated annulation of 2-amidophenol has been presented.
Iron(III) chloride mediated para-selective CÀ H chlorination and subsequent annulation of 2amidophenol to synthesize C5-and C5, C7-chlorinated benzoxazoles was developed. Further, the oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling of amidophenol with anisole by ferric chloride was explored to achieve the remotely anisylated benzoxazoles.
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.
