Iridium catalysts supported on anatase with high surface area showed excellent activities for the acceptor-less dehydrogenation synthesis of benzoxazoles from 2-aminophenol and primary alcohols. The catalytic activity greatly depended titania supports, iridium precursors, loading species. Catalysts JRC (Japan Reference Catalyst)-TIO-10 highest dehydrogenative reaction. Preparation using [Ir(cod...

A novel magnetite nanoparticle-based heterogeneous acidic catalyst [Fe3O4@SiO2@Am-PPC-SO3H] [HSO4] was successfully prepared and characterized by SEM, EDX, TGA, VSM and FT-IR techniques. The magnetically retrievable and sustainable catalyst was investigated in the reaction of aldehyde and o-aminophenol for the synthesis of benzoxazoles. The...

CdO nanoparticles efficiently catalyzes the condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 2-aminophenol at room temperature to afford 2-aryl benzoxazole derivatives by grinding method. The reactions proceed under heterogeneous and mild conditions to provide 2-aryl benzoxazoles in excellent yields (87-97 %) with high purity under solvent free condition. The reaction requires short time (5-23 minutes) ...
