The 2(3H)-benzoxazolone heterocycle and its bioisosteric surrogates (such as 2(3H)-benzothiazolinone, benzoxazinone, etc.) have received considerable attention from the medicinal chemists owing to their capacity to mimic a phenol or a catechol moiety in a metabolically stable template. These heterocycles and
