Benzo[d]oxazol-7-ol

Benzoxazoles are a class of heterocyclic compounds that have been used extensively in organic chemistry. They are terminal oxidants, which means they can form bonds with other molecules by adding an oxygen atom to them. Benzoxazoles are also efficient catalysts for the synthesis of a variety of functionalized compounds and react selectively with dichlorobenzene to form benzoxazole derivatives. This process is catalytic, meaning it does not require any external energy source. The use of benzoxazole as a catalyst has many advantages over traditional methods, including improved efficiency and regioselectivity.
