METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ARENE WITH AN AROMATIC C-N BOND ORTHO TO AN AROMATIC C-O BOND

A method for producing an arene with an aromatic C—N bond ortho to an aromatic C—O bond from a hydroxy arene comprising said aromatic C—O bond is provided. This method comprising the steps a) ortho-oxygenating the hydroxy arene to produce an ortho-quinone, b) condensating the ortho-quinone with a nitrogen nucleophile to generate a compound of Formula (IVa) or (IVb), and c) allowing 1,5-hydrogen atom shift of the compound of Formula (IVa) or (IVb), thereby producing arenes with a C—N bond ortho to a C—O bond of Formula (Va) and (Vb), respectively:

Selective syntheses of benzoxazoles and N-(2-hydroxyaryl)pyrrolidin-2-ones from the corresponding cyclopropyl amides with PPh3/CX4

Benzoxazoles 2 can be smoothly synthesized by treatment of starting materials of N-(2-hydroxyaryl) cyclopropyl amides 1 with PPh3/ CCl4 in acetonitrile in good yields. When PPh3/CBr 4/MS 4 ? was used in the reac
