A novel, efficient, and high-yielding one-pot three-component method was developed for the synthesis of 2-(1H-benzo[d]oxazole-2-yl)-Narylbenzamides by combining phthaldichloride with anilines & o-aminophenol in water without any external catalyst. The environmentally friendly procedure, easy operation and mild reaction conditions enable the tolerance of a wide scope of functionalities as well as high reaction efficiency.
Key words: Water, phthaldichloride, anilines, o-aminophenol, 2-(1H-benzo[d]oxazole-2-yl)-N-arylbenzamides
