Hemoglobin: A New Biocatalyst for the Synthesis of 2-substituted Benzoxazoles via Oxidative Cyclization

摘要

Efficient and mild synthesis of a series of 2-substituted benzoxazoles via oxidative cyclization catalyzed by hemoglobins reported here for the first time. Satisfactory yields (84 %-97 %) and mild reaction conditions make this method highly viable for practical applications.
