Abstract

A simple, green, and efficient method is presented for the synthesis of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles from reaction of <i>o</i>-aminophenols, <i>o-</i>aminothiophenols, and aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes using samarium triflate as a reusable acid catalyst under mild reaction conditions in aqueous medium.
