Abstract

One-pot reduction-triggered heterocyclizations from 2-nitrophenols to benzoxazoles and from 1-aryl-2-nitroethanones to oxazoles were investigated. In the presence of indium/AcOH in benzene at reflux, 2-nitrophenols and R–C (OMe) 3 (R= H, Me, Ph) produced excellent yields of corresponding benzoxazoles within an hour. Similarly, 1-aryl-2-nitroethanones and Ph–C (OMe) 3 in the presence of indium/AcOH in acetonitrile transformed into the ...
