摘要

A practical and simple synthesis of benzoxazoles from easily available substrates was developed. The protocol is triggered by an iron-catalyzed tandem oxidative process from simple toluene derivatives and 2-aminophenols. This method represents a straightforward approach to access substituted benzoxazoles.
