Coupling on sunshine : A simple and efficient synthesis of benzoxazoles, benzimidazoles, and benzothiazoles is realized through a one‐pot preparation driven by a photocatalytic cascade reaction. Carbon nitride and visible light are employed to achieve this metal‐free aerobic oxidation of amines to imines (see scheme; mpg‐C 3 N 4 =mesoporous graphite carbon nitride).
