Application

2-Aminophenol can be used in the synthesis of:
  • 2-Oxazolidinone derivatives by reacting with β-aminoalcohols in presence of Pd/C-I2 as a catalyst via oxidative cyclocarbonylation.
  • Schiff base transition metal(II) complexes with salicylidene-4-aminoantipyrine.
  • 2-Arylbenzoxazoles with aldehydes catalyzed by activated carbon in presence of oxygen atmosphere.

A robust route to 4-amine-benzo[b][1,4]oxazepines relying upon a palladium-catalyzed tandem reaction of o-aminophenols, bromoalkynes and isocyanides has been developed. This chemistry presumably proceeds through the migratory insertion of isocyanides into the vinyl-palladium intermediate as a key step.

A palladium-catalyzed desulfitative C-H arylation of azoles with sodium sulfinates using Cu(OAc)(2)·H(2)O as oxidant has been discovered. The reaction proceeded well for a range of different substrates under oxidative conditions. A series of aryl-substituted azoles have been synthesized in moderate
