An Fe/S catalyst generated in situ from FeCl 2 ·4H 2 O and elemental sulfur S 8 in the presence of a tertiary amine as a base was found to catalyze efficiently a 6e - redox condensation of o-nitrophenols with acetophenones and methylquinolines. The condensed products 2-benzoylbenzoxazoles and 2-quinolylbenzoxazoles were obtained in reasonable yields with water as the only byproduct at a temperature as low as 80 °C.
