The synthesis of 2-aminobenzoxazoles can be readily achieved by two versatile, one-pot procedures utilizing commercially available tetramethyl orthocarbonate or 1,1-dichlorodiphenoxymethane, an amine, and an optionally substituted 2-aminophenol. The reactions were conducted under mild conditions and provided 2-aminobenzoxazoles in modest to excellent yields. A variety of amines and substituted 2-aminophenols were used to investigate the scope of the reactions.
