Reaktionsschritte

20 g (104.9 mmol) of 2-naphthyl chloride and 2.5 g (15.5 mmol) of 4-aminoresorcinol hydrochloride were introduced into a three-necked flask provided with a thermometer and a cooling condenser, and the mixture was heated at 135° to 205° C. for 1 hour, then excessive acid chloride was removed by distillation. To the residue, 8.3 g (207.5 mmol) of NaOH, 60 ml of THF, 60 ml of water and 30 ml of methanol were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 2 hours. The reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, the extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride water solution, and ethyl acetate was distilled off. Recrystallizing the residue with water/methanol/THF and drying the crystal, there was obtained 1.92 mg (7.36 mmol) of 2-(2-naphthyl)-6-hydroxybenzoxazole. The yield was 47.5%.
