Abstract

A simple, green, and efficient method is presented for the synthesis of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles from reaction of o-aminophenols, o-aminothiophenols, and aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes using samarium triflate as a reusable acid catalyst under mild reaction conditions in aqueous medium.

  • 24 General Procedure To a mixture of the requisite o-aminophenol/o-amino-thiophenol (1 mmol) and aldehyde (1 mmol) in EtOH–H2O (2:2 mL), samarium triflate catalyst (10 mol%) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60 °C. After completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC, the mixture was diluted with H2O–EtOAc (1:1, 10 mL) and catalyst recovered by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with Et2O (2 × 10 mL) and dried with anhydrous Na2SO4. After filtration and evaporation of solvent, the crude product was recrystallized from EtOAc or MeOH. All the structures were confirmed by their analytical data and comparison with literature data.25–30 Spectroscopic Data for Selected Compounds 2-Phenylbenzo[d]oxazole (Table 2 Entry 1) Mp 100–102 °C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 7.39 (m, 2 H), 7.57 (m, 3 H), 7.64 (m, 1 H), 7.80 (m, 1 H), 8.29 (m, 2 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 110.6, 119.9, 124.5, 125.1, 127.3, 127.5, 128.9, 131.5, 142.2, 150.8, 163.0.
