Abstract: | AbstractThe present paper describes a silica-supported, perchloric-acid-catalyzed, efficient protocol for the synthesis of 2-(phenyl)oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives. This strategy has high conversion, simple workup procedures, ambient conditions, short reaction times, and a reusable catalyst. Structures of the synthesized compounds have been established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry). Moreover, to investigate the mechanistic details of the reaction and to ascertain the regioselective outcome of the product, local nucleophilicity descriptors Nk at B3LYP/6-311G++(d, p) level were determined and analyzed. |
