Ethyl [5-(methyloxy)-2-oxo-1,3-benzoxazol-3(2H)-yl]acetate (0.98 g, 3.9 mmol) was dissolved in 12.5 mL of tetrahydrofuran and treated with a solution of LiOH (0.094 g, 3.9 mmol) dissolved in 1.25 mL of water. The reaction was stirred vigorously at room temperature for 18 hours before it was determined to be complete by LCMS (two Aquasil C18, 20×1 mm columns were run in sequence, 4 minutes at 0.1 1 mL/min, 1-99% CH3CN/H2O with 0.018% trifluoroacetic acid, ES) Rt=1.5 min and m/e 224 [M+1]+. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the residue was then dissolved in 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a 10% hydrochloric acid solution (3×30 mL) and the organic phase was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give [5-(methyloxy)-2-oxo-1,3-benzoxazol-3(2H)-yl]acetic acid (0.64 g, 2.8 mmol, 73%) as a brown amorphous solid. MS (ES) m/e 224 [M+H]+.
