I am trying to synthesise a benzoxazole structured compound with the condensation of o-amino-2-methyl phenol or o-amino phenol with thiopene 2,5 di-carboxylic acid.
Following below attachment is the structure of my final product.
Do esterification/acid halide conversion (with equimolar ratio) of carboxylic acid first followed by careful addition to amine. Works well for amide preparation without affecting alcohol functional group.
you can try this reaction of o-amino phenol condensation with thiopene2,5 dicarboxylic acid with different heterogeneous solid acid like Amberlyst and another you can be used cyanide grp instead of acid
