Hemoglobin: A New Biocatalyst for the Synthesis of 2-substituted Benzoxazoles via Oxidative Cyclization

Efficient and mild synthesis of a series of 2-substituted benzoxazoles via oxidative cyclization catalyzed by hemoglobins reported here for the first time. Satisfactory yields (84 %–97 %) and mild reaction conditions make this method highly viable for practical applications.

Copper-catalyzed alkylation of benzoxazoles with secondary alkyl halides

Copper-catalyzed direct alkylation of benzoxazoles using nonactivated secondary alkyl halides has been developed. The best catalyst is a new copper(I) complex (1), and the reactions are promoted by bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether.
