The iron-catalyzed 2-arylbenzoxazole formation from o-nitrophenols and benzylic alcohols using hydrogen transfer is described. Various 2-arylbenzoxazoles were selectively obtained in good to excellent yields. The reaction tolerated a wide range of functionalities. The alcohol oxidation, nitro reduction, condensation, and dehydrogenation were realized in a cascade without external reducing reagent and oxidant.
