title: Benzazoles from aliphatic amines and o-amino/mercaptan/hydroxyanilines: elemental sulfur as a highly efficient and traceless oxidizing agent.
abstract: A novel remarkably simple solvent-free and catalyst-free synthesis of benzazoles from alkylamines and o-hydroxy/amino/mercaptan anilines using elemental sulfur as traceless oxidizing agent has been developed.
