A Novel One-step Photocatalytic Synthesis of Benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one with C-doped TiO2 Nanoparticle

Abstract

A novel approach was proposed to synthesize benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one by photoreduction of o-nitrophenol and cyclization with urea using C-doped TiO2 nanoparticles as photocatalyst which was prepared by a modified sol–gel method using glucose as carbon source.
