Abstract

A facile synthetic method for benzothiazoles and benzoxazoles comprising the reaction of corresponding 2-aminothiophenol and 2-aminophenol with various substituted aromatic carboxylic acids using Samarium(III) triflate as a catalyst has been described. The advantages of the method are short reaction times and aqueous reaction media and easy work-up. The catalysts can be recovered for the subsequent reactions and reused without any appreciable loss of efficiency.
