Transition-Metal-Free Alkylation/Arylation of Benzoxazole via Tf2O-Activated-Amide was written by Niu, Zhi-Jie;Li, Lian-Hua;Liu, Xue-Yuan;Liang, Yong-Min. And the article was included in Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis in 2019.SDS of cas: 99586-31-9 This article mentions the following:
A transition-metal-free approach to the alkylation/arylation of benzoxazoles was developed by employing Tf2O-activated-amides as the alkylating/arylating reagent for the synthesis of alkyl/aryl benzoxazoles I [R = i-Pr, Ph, (CH2)2Ph, etc.; R1 = H, 5-Me, 5-NO2, etc.]. The mild reaction conditions and particularly insensitivity to air and water, further enhanced the synthetic potential in pharmaceutical synthesis. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(3-Bromophenyl)benzo[d]oxazole (cas: 99586-31-9SDS of cas: 99586-31-9).
2-(3-Bromophenyl)benzo[d]oxazole (cas: 99586-31-9) belongs to benzoxazole derivatives. Its aromaticity makes it relatively stable, although as a heterocycle, it has reactive sites which allow for functionalization. A number of marketed drugs are available having benzoxazole as core active moiety like, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)—flunoxaprofen, benoxaprofen, antibiotic—calcimycin.SDS of cas: 99586-31-9
