Abstract

A sequential one-pot procedure for the synthesis of either 2-(hetero)aryl or 2-styryl benzoxazoles from aryl and vinyl bromides involves an initial aminocarbonylation with 2-aminophenols as nucleophiles followed by an acid mediated ring closure to generate the heterocycle. The methodology displays a broad substrate scope in good yields.
