phospho sulfonic acid (psa) synthesized as an environmentally safe and efficient solid acid catalyst, and it used for the synthesis of several 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles, 2-substituted benzoxazoles, and 2-substituted quinoxalines in ethanol as a green solvent at ambient temperature is described. (i) a very simple, green and efficient procedure for the synthesis of benzimidazole and also benz...

sulfonic acid functionalized sba-15 as a nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the synthesis of 2-aryl benzoxazoles 4 by the condensation of 2-aminophenol 1 and benzoyl chlorides 2 under microwave irradiation in solvent free reaction conditions. the advantages of this methodology are good product yields (60-98%), being environmentally benign, short reaction times and easy work up.

New 2-[p-substituted-phenyl ]benzoxazol-5-yl-arylcarboxyamides derivatives have been synthesized by reacting 5-amino-2-[p-substituted-phenyl ]benzoxazoles with substituted-arylcarboxylic acid chlorides. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR and (1)H NMR spectral data. Antimicrobial activities of the compounds were investigated using the two-fold serial dilution techni...

BACKGROUND The biosynthesis pathway of benzoxazole compounds caboxamycin and nataxazole have been recently elucidated. Both compounds share one of their precursors, 3-hydroxyanthranilate (two units in the case of nataxazole). In addition, caboxamycin structure includes a salicylate moiety while 6-methylsalycilate is the third scaffold in nataxazole. Pathways cross-talk has been identified in ca...
