Abstract:

Benzoxazole derivatives are well known for their applications in medicinal, industrial and synthetic organic chemistry. Numerous effects has been focused on developing efficient methods for the synthesis of it. The benzoxazole derivatives was synthesised by condensation of 2-aminophenol and benzaldehyde in presence of glycerol under focused microwave-irradiation conditions. Reaction conditions:2-aminothiophenol(1.0 mmol), benzaldehyde(1.0 mmol), glycerol(2 mL), irradiating under focused microwave for several minutes at 20 W and 110 ℃. The corresponding products was obtained in 80% to 91% yield. The present method has the advantages of mild conditions, green solvent, simple operation, easily available reaction substrates, and excellent product yields, which make it a useful and important supplement to the existing methods.

Key words: benzoxazole, glycerol, aminophenol, aromatic aldehydes
