Abstract:
A simple and efficient domino protocol has been developed for the preparation of biologically important benzamides, 2,2-diazidobenzofuran-3(2H)-ones and benzoxazolones from various structurally and electronically divergent acetophenones and o-hydroxy acetophenones in the presence of molecular iodine, sodium azide and sodium bicarbonate at 100 °C in good to excellent yields.
