Dowex 50W: A green mild reusable catalyst for the synthesis of 2-aryl benzoxazole derivatives in aqueous medium

In this work simple efficient, one pot and environmentally friendly method was developed for the synthesis of 2-Aryl-1H-benzoxazole derivatives at 80oC using ortho-aminophenol and various aldehydes. It has been found that Dowex 50W is an effective catalyst to prepare moderate to high yield of a variety of benzoxazole derivatives through a clean and simple process. Aqueous medium, green methodology, rapid reaction, reusability of heterogeneous catalyst are the great advantages of this protocol.

An efficient rapid synthesis of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles using pma.Sio2 at room temperature under heterogeneous conditions

Treatment of 2-aminophenol (or 2-aminothiophenol) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of phosphomolybdic acid on silica at room temperature affords the corresponding benzoxazoles (or benzothiazoles) in excellent yields (88-96%) under heterogeneous conditions. Benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles are formed in less than 10 min.

Photocatalytic green synthesis of benzazoles from alcohol oxidation/toluene sp3C-H activation over metal-free BCN: effect of crystallinity and N-B pair exposure

Porous borocarbonitride (P-BCN), with the characteristics of enhanced crystallinity and improved N-B pair exposure, was prepared with a simple KCl-assisted molten salt strategy. Efficient heterogeneous photocatalytic tandem synthesis of benzazoles from alcohol oxidation/toluene sp3C-H activation was achieved firstly over the metal-free P-BCN using visible light and the green oxidant O2, with only water as a by-product. Variouso-thio/hydroxy/aminoanilines and alcohols or toluenes could be converted to the corresponding 2-substituted benzothiazoles, benzoxazoles and benzimidazoles with good to excellent photocatalytic performance. The improved photocatalytic performance in comparison to bulk BCN should be due to the crystallinity-enhancement-induced improvement in charge separation and transmission. The increased N-B pair exposure promoted superoxide radical generation due to the electron-enriched N atoms, as well as improved oxidation ability due to the valence band constructed by the B 2p orbital. This work presents a green and efficient synthetic strategy towards benzazoles and other fine chemicalsviametal-free heterogeneous photocatalysis.

Stable Pd(0) Complexes with Ferrocene Bisphosphanes Bearing Phosphatrioxaadamantyl Substituents Efficiently Catalyze Selective C-H Arylation of Benzoxazoles by Aryl Chlorides

Versatile applications and unique performance of 1,1’-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene (dppf) in coordination chemistry and catalysis prompted the search for its analogs. This contribution describes the synthesis of the first donor-unsymmetric dppf congeners bearing bulky and rigid 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,4,6-trioxa-8-phosphaadamantyl (CgP) donor groups, viz. Ph2PfcPCg (1) and Ph2PfcCH2PCg (2; fc=ferrocene-1,1’-diyl). Bis-phosphanes 1 and 2 were converted into air-stable Pd(0) complexes, [Pd(ma)(L^L)] (L^L=1 and 2; ma=maleic anhydride). Together with [Pd(ma)(dppf)], these complexes were applied as catalysts in Pd-catalyzed C?H arylation of benzoxazoles with aryl chlorides in n-butanol as an environmentally benign solvent. Among all catalysts tested in this study, complex [Pd(ma)(2)] performed the best, providing a high-yield and selective synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazoles from a range of the generally less reactive chloroarenes at low catalyst loading (typically 1 mol.%). Under similar conditions, the structurally related heterocycles (e. g., 1-methylbenzimidazole and benzothiazole) did not react.

Bimetallic Cooperative Catalysis for Decarbonylative Heteroarylation of Carboxylic Acids via C-O/C-H Coupling

Cooperative bimetallic catalysis is a fundamental approach in modern synthetic chemistry. We report bimetallic cooperative catalysis for the direct decarbonylative heteroarylation of ubiquitous carboxylic acids via acyl C-O/C-H coupling. This novel catalytic system exploits the cooperative action of a copper catalyst and a palladium catalyst in decarbonylation, which enables highly chemoselective synthesis of important heterobiaryl motifs through the coupling of carboxylic acids with heteroarenes in the absence of prefunctionalization or directing groups. This cooperative decarbonylative method uses common carboxylic acids and shows a remarkably broad substrate scope (>70 examples), including late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals and streamlined synthesis of bioactive agents. Extensive mechanistic and computational studies were conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of the reaction. The key step involves intersection of the two catalytic cycles via transmetallation of the copper–aryl species with the palladium(II) intermediate generated by oxidative addition/decarbonylation.

Sulfur-Promoted Synthesis of Benzoxazoles from 2-Aminophenols and Aldehydes

Elemental sulfur (S8) was found to be an excellent stoichiometric oxidant to promote oxidative condensation of 2-aminophenols with a wide range of aldehydes, including aliphatic aldehyde such as cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde. The reactions were catalyzed by sodium sulfide in the presence of DMSO as an additive. The benzoxazole products were obtained in satisfactory yields. The reaction conditions could be applied to larger syntheses (10–50 mmol).

Iron(0)-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenative Condensation of Nitroarenes with Alcohols: A Straightforward Approach to Benzoxazoles, Benzothiazoles, and Benzimidazoles

The iron-catalyzed hydrogen transfer strategy has been applied to the redox condensation of o-hydroxynitrobenzene with alcohol, leading to the formation of benzoxazole derivatives. A wide range of 2-substituted benzoxazoles were synthesized in good to excellent yields without the addition of an external redox agent. A series of control experiments provided a plausible mechanism. Furthermore, the reaction system was successfully extended to the synthesis of benzothiazoles and benzimidazoles.

Visible Light-Induced Copper-Catalyzed C—H Arylation of Benzoxazoles?

A general method for visible light-induced copper-catalyzed arylation of sp2 C—H bonds of azoles has been developed. The method employs aryl halide as the coupling partner, lithium alkoxide as base. A variety of azoles including benzooxazole and benzothiazole can be arylated. Furthermore, electron-poor heterocycles such as thiophene possessing one electron-withdrawing group can also be arylated.

Pd/Cu bimetallic co-catalyzed direct 2-arylation of benzoxazole with aryl chloride

An efficient Palladium/Copper bimetallic co-catalyzed direct 2-arylation of benzoxazoles with aryl chlorides is presented. The Pd(OAc)2/CuI/NiXantphos-based catalyst enables the installation of various aryl and heteroaryl groups in good to excellent yields (75–99%). Preliminary mechanism investigation indicates that Pd/Nixantphos complex activates C-Cl bond of aryl chlorides via oxidative addition, and Cu/Nixantphos complex chelates with nitrogen atom to lower the pKa of the 2-H in benzoxazoles.
