Abstract Kinetics of synthesis of bis-(benzoxazolyl-2-methyl) sulfide (BBMS) is investigated under phase-transfer catalysis conditions. Thus, the reaction of 2-chloromethylbenzoxazole and sodium sulfide is carried out in a two-phase (organic/water) medium, and quaternary ammonium salt and quaternary phosphonium salt are used as phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) in the reaction. The conversion of 2-chloromethylbenzoxazole is dramatically enhanced ...
