Application

2-Aminophenol can be used in the synthesis of:
  • 2-Oxazolidinone derivatives by reacting with β-aminoalcohols in presence of Pd/C-I2 as a catalyst via oxidative cyclocarbonylation.
  • Schiff base transition metal(II) complexes with salicylidene-4-aminoantipyrine.
  • 2-Arylbenzoxazoles with aldehydes catalyzed by activated carbon in presence of oxygen atmosphere.
