Abstract

A new strategy for synthesis of imines using the approach of release of H₂ has been developed. This oxidant- and acceptor-free Pd/C catalysis protocol is further applied to synthesis of benzoxazoles, benzimidazoles, and benzothiazoles through a one-pot cascade reaction with notably high yields.
