Synthesis of benzazoles by hydrogen-transfer catalysis

Org Lett. 2009 May 7;11(9):2039-42. doi: 10.1021/ol900557u.

Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed hydrogen-transfer reactions have been used for the conversion of alcohols into benzimidazoles and aldehydes into benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles.
