Abstract

o-Nitrophenols and o-nitroaniline were reacted with amines at 210-215°C to produce the corresponding benzoxazoles and benzimidazoles, respectively, in moderate yields. The reactions between o-nitrophenols containing a CO2Me or OMe group on their benzene rings and N,N-diethylaniline were examined to investigate the effects of the position and electronic character of these substituents on the formation of the oxazole ring.
