Abstract
Lawesson’s reagent acts as an efficient promoter in the solvent-free microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-substituted benzoxazoles from carboxylic acids and 2-aminophenol, and thus, constitutes a general synthetic method for these compounds. This new application of Lawesson’s reagent is valid also for benzothiazoles with very high efficiency level. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids react under the conditions developed with good yields in all cases. Thiobenzoic acid is a good alternative for microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-phenylbenzoxazole and 2-phenylbenzothiazole in the absence of solvents.
Key words

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Benzoxazoles 4 or Benzothiazoles 5 - Synthesis of 3-Methylbenzoxazole (
4f).
A mixture of 3-methylbenzoic acid (6f, 136 mg, 1 mmol), 2-aminophenol (109 mg, 1 mmol) and Lawesson’s reagent (141 mg, 0.35 mmol) was irradiated in an open vessel with microwaves in a monomode oven (Discover CEM, 300W and temperature control set at 190 °C measured with an IR sensor) for 4 min. The crude was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) and washed with 10% aq NaOH (2 × 20 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to give pure (as per NMR) 2-(3-methylphenyl)benzoxazole (4f), further purification by flash chromatography gave 188 mg (90%) as a white solid.
