Popis: Eosin Y-catalyzed one-pot coupling and cyclization of o-substituted anilines with aldehydes to form benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles under mild condition has been developed. The reaction scope was broadly tolerant of various 2-substituted anilines and aldehydes. The desired products were obtained in high yields with the use of eosin Y as a photocatalyst under a substantial refinement of reaction conditions in comparison with previous literature. Based on the experimental results observed, a plausible mechanism involving a radical process has been proposed.
