The Synthesis of 2-Aminobenzoxazoles Using Reusable Ionic Liquid as a Green Catalyst under Mild Conditions

Metal-free visible light mediated direct C-H amination of benzoxazole with secondary amines

An efficient visible light mediated, eosin Y catalyzed direct C-H oxidative amination of benzoxazoles with secondary amines has been developed, which providing a straightforward, green, and environmentally benign access to a wide variety of substituted benzoxazole-2-amines under mild reaction conditions. The biological studies such as drug-likeness and molecular docking are also carried out on the molecule.

Synthesis of Various 2-Aminobenzoxazoles: The Study of Cyclization and Smiles Rearrangement

This study reports two synthetic approaches leading to 2-aminobenzoxazoles and their N-substituted analogues. Our first synthetic strategy involves a reaction between various o-aminophenols and N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide as a nonhazardous electrophilic cyanating agent in the presence of Lewis acid. The second synthetic approach uses the Smiles rearrangement upon activation of benzoxazole-2-thiol with chloroacetyl chloride. Both developed synthetic protocols are widely applicable, afford the desired aminobenzoxazoles in good to excellent yields, and use nontoxic and inexpensive starting material.

Effect of Ionic Liquids on the Physical Properties of the Newly Synthesized Conducting Polymer

Conducting polymer has many applications in electronics, optical devices, sensors, and so on; however, there is still a massive scope of improvement in this area. Therefore, towards this aim, in this study, we synthesized a new thiophene-based conducting polymer, 2-heptadecyl-5-hexyl-6-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-4-(5-((E)-prop-1-enyl)thiophen-2-yl)-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]thiazole (HHMPT). Further, to increase its application, the interactions between the conducting polymer (HHMPT) and ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and confocal Raman spectroscopy techniques. Moreover, film roughness and conductivity of the polymer film with or without ILs were also studied. The imidazolium- and ammonium family ILs with the potential to interact with the newly synthesized conducting polymer were used. The results of the interaction studies revealed that the imidazolium family IL-polymer mixtures and ammonium family IL-polymer mixtures have almost similar conductivity at low concentration of ILs. This study provides an insight into the combined effect of a polymer and ILs and may generate many theoretical and experimental opportunities.
