ChemInform Abstract: Design and Synthesis of 3-Acyl-2(3H)-benzoxazolone and 3-Acyl-2(3H)-benzothiazolone Derivatives

The known literature methods to provide access to the title derivatives make use of a base-catalyzed acyl transfer process utilizing either acid halides or anhydrides as acylating agents allowing the synthesis of acylated species in fair to good yields, but none of them is judged satisfactorily to elaborate a library of the title compounds.
