Application
2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-benzoxazole serves as a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing heterocycles. It is employed in cross-coupling reactions to develop potential kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. The compound’s electron-deficient benzoxazole core also facilitates the creation of fluorescent probes and OLED materials. Researchers utilize it to introduce both chlorine and trifluoromethyl groups into target molecules for enhanced lipophilicity and metabolic stability.
