Six derivatives containing benzoxazole were synthesized from phydroxybenzaldehyde via four step-route in high yields. The benzoxazole cyclization step was promoted with microwave irradiation for 10 to 30 min. Free oaminophenol derivative A3 reacted with aldehydes to form benzoxazole A4a-f, but A3.HCl couldn’t due to the presence of iron (II). Their structures were elucidated with spectroscopic methods: IR, 1D, 2D NMR, and MS.
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.
