Herein, we present our results on the development of a waste minimized protocol for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazoles in continuous flow. Manganese-based heterogeneous catalysts were used in combination with cyclopentylmethyl ether as an environmentally friendly and safe reaction medium. The use of oxygen promotes the oxidative process ensuring at the same time a complete regeneration of the catalyst adopting a flow configuration which does not include the use of an additional mechanical pump. These features allowed for a faster synthesis compared to batch procedures with minimal metal leaching.

In the present study, three divergent reaction paths emerged when o-haloanilides were subjected to CuO nanoparticles in water. o-Halo (I, Br) phenylbenzamides in the presence of CuO nanoparticles and Cs2CO 3 in water at 100 °C provided o-hydroxyphenyl benzamides as the major product. However, a complete change in selectivity was observed in the presence of an organic base/ligand (TMEDA), giving 2-arylbenzoxazole as the exclusive product. The above selectivities were not clearly distinct when the corresponding alkylamides were treated either in the presence or absence of the ligand. A number of o-halophenyl alkylamides provided either exclusively o-dehalogenated products or a mixture of o-dehalogenated and o-hydroxylated products, but none gave 2-alkylbenzoxazoles. In addition to the above selectivities, the use of an environmentally friendly solvent (water) and base, and the recyclability of the catalyst make this procedure a benign alternative to the existing methods for the synthesis of these molecules, viz. o-hydroxybenzamides and o-arylbenzoxazoles.

The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities of twenty-nine (29) benzoxazole derivatives were tested against fifteen Gram-positive and sixteen Gram-negative strains. Out of the twenty-nine compounds, eighteen compounds 3-5, 7-9, 11-13, 15-25 showed a broad range of activity against tested Gram-positive microorganisms, whereas rest of the compounds 6, 10, 14 and 26-31 were found to be completely inactive against all the tested strains of Gram-positive bacteria. Five compounds 8, 11-13, and 15 showed activities against Gram-negative strains whereas the rest were devoid of any activity. Twenty-one (21) out of twenty-nine (29) compounds possessed antifungal activity. The structures of the synthetic compounds were confirmed by IR, EIMS and 1HNMR spectral data.

A convenient one-pot process has been developed for the synthesis of benzoxazoles. Starting from aryl bromides and 1,2-dibromobenzenes palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation and subsequent copper-catalyzed coupling reaction gave a variety of substituted benzoxazoles in moderate to good yields.
