Abstract

We report a one-pot, catalytic oxidative synthesis of 2-biphenylbenzoxazoles, benzothiazoles and 1-substituted benzimidazoles from 2-aminosubstituted phenols/thiophenols/phenylamines and substituted biphenylcarbaldehydes. Among the advantages of this method are its simple procedure, high efficiency, and broad substrate scope.
