Copper-Catalyzed Alkylation of Benzoxazoles with Secondary Alkyl Halides
Abstract

Copper-catalyzed direct alkylation of benzoxazoles using nonactivated secondary alkyl halides has been developed. The best catalyst is a new copper(I) complex (1), and the reactions are promoted by bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether.
