This synthetic strategy has such advantages as mild reaction conditions, cost-free oxidant, readily available starting materials, and recyclable catalyst and solvent. As an application, it was successfully used in the synthesis of the unreported 5-（benzoxazol-2-yl）-2＇-deoxyuridines with potential biological activities.展开更多
