The utility of sodium borohydride in the presence of acetic acid in efficiently and selectively cleaving substituted benzoxazoles to o-hydroxy-N-substituted anilines in the presence of other functional groups is described.These conditions offer practical advantages over existing ring opening procedures with normally resistant benzoxazoles.
