Cover Story: Benzoxazole-based compounds have a wide range of biological activities, and their fluorosulfate derivatives have the ability to react with various functional groups, making it possible to obtain novel compounds. We synthesized the new 2-(2-(fluorosulfonyloxy)phenyl)benzoxazole (2) by the SuFEx click reaction between the corresponding phenol and gaseous SO2F2 in a two-chamber reactor. The influence of SO2F2 pressure on the reaction selectivity was investigated. Compound 2 is the first example of benzoxazole which bears a fluorosulfonyloxy-containing substituent at position 2 of the heterocycle. The anti-cancer potency of 2 was evaluated in silico using molecular docking. It was shown that compound 2 is of great interest for further studies as a possible anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor.
