Efficient one-pot synthesis of benzoxazole derivatives catalyzed by Zinc triflate

MgAl2O4 nanospinel: Green synthesis, characterization and effective heterogeneous catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of carbol fuchsin dye and synthesis of 2-aryl substituted benzoxazole derivatives

“…Therefore, it is necessary to discover a better catalyst for the synthesis of benzoxazoles that is simple to use, non-toxic, reusable, ecologically acceptable, and economically feasible. In this report, the nanospinel MgAl2O4 is found to have the better catalytic activity than the previously reported nanoparticles in the synthesis of benzoxazole derivatives [13,[16][17][18]. And this method overcomes the above disadvantages and provides shorter reaction time, simpler product isolation and recyclability of the catalyst.…”
