Metal-free aerobic oxidation of benzazole derivatives

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

2-Benzyl benzothiazoles and benzimidazoles are easily oxidized under air and basic conditions to give the corresponding ketones in good yields. The use of palladium acetate as a catalyst has little effect and even gives, in some cases, much lower yields.
