In the title compound, C(15)H(11)NO(2)S, a new thio-benzoxazole derivative, the dihedral angle between the benzoxazole ring and the phenyl ring is 9.91 (9)°. An inter-esting feature of the crystal structure is the short C⋯S [3.4858 (17) Å] contact, which is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of these atoms. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked together by zigzag inter-mo...

The arylation of mono-, di- and tetra-meso-bromophenyl-substituted porphyrins with the heteroarenes containing "acidic" C-H bonds, such as benzoxazole, benzothiazole and N-methylimidazole was studied in the presence of three alternative catalytic systems: Pd(dba)2/DavePhos/Cs2CO3, Pd(PPh3)4/PivOH/K2CO3 and Pd(OAc)2/Cu(OAc)2/PPh3/K2CO3. The first catalytic system was found to be successful in th...

The formation of an unexpected heterocyclic scaffold, a benzoxazole, in a three-component reaction between a ketone, isocyanide, and 2-aminophenol was encountered. This reaction involved a benzo[b][1,4]oxazine intermediate resulting from intramolecular attack of the aminophenol hydroxyl group on the nitrilium ion. Unlike previous literature examples, the trapped nitrilium benzo[b][1,4]oxazine c...

In the title mol-ecule, C(22)H(15)NO(3), the configuration about the ethyl-enic double bond is Z configuration and it is approximately coplanar with the adjacent phenyl ring and benzoxazole ring system as indicated by the C(H)=C(O)-C(phen-yl)-C(phen-yl) and O(benzoxazole)-C-C(H)=C(O) torsion angles of 179.88 (15) and 5.7 (2)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the essentially planar (r.m...

A linear coplanar carbazole-based benzoxazole derivative without any auxiliary moieties could gelatinize organic solvents, and exhibited emission enhancement owing to the J-aggregate formation.

Because of the premature failure of in-service soft-body armor containing the ballistic fiber poly[(benzo-[1,2-d:5,4-d']-benzoxazole-2,6-diyl)-1,4-phenylene] (PBO), the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a research program to investigate the reasons for this failure and to develop testing methodologies and protocols ...

A triphenylamine-based benzoxazole derivative exhibits a low contrast piezofluorochromic behavior under external pressure, and a high-contrast fluorescence change induced by protonation can be observed.

UV-vis absorption spectrum of internally hydrogen-bonded enol structures 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole is calculated for the transitions to first excited state using Franck-Condon approximation and harmonic model vibrations. It shown that structure with hydrogen bond OH...O shifted larger energy by about 0.13 eV compared most stable OH...N. The largest intensity vibronic electronic demonstrat...

FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of 5-methyl-2-(p-fluorophenyl)benzoxazole were recorded and analysed. The vibrational frequencies of the compound have been computed using the Hartree-Fock/6-31G* basis and compared with the experimental values.

A conceptually new and general strategy has been developed for the construction of a benzimidazole or a benzoxazole ring fused with isoquinolinone affording a diverse and unique class of small molecules as potential and novel inhibitors of PDE4.
