Abstract

Aryl-substituted benzoazoles are common building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products, functional materials, and many other biologically active molecules. 7 The conventional methods for the synthesis of these important compounds typically involve either the metal-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of thioformanilides or the cross-coupling of carboxylic acids or aldehydes with 2-aminophenol (or 2-aminothiophenol), 8,9 but such ...
