Abstract

The reaction of 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid or methyl 3-hydroxyanthranilate with O-benzylsalicylaldehyde in xylenes gave benzoxazole derivatives, which lead to a novel benzoxazole antibiotic, caboxamycin via debenzylation or demethylation in good yield, in the presence of dry activated carbon and bubbling molecular oxygen. The present reaction involves the simple procedure, easy workup and environmentally benign materials such as reusable activated carbon and molecular oxygen.
