Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of di(1H-imidazole-1-yl)methanamine (2.05 g, 12.26 mmol) in THF (60 mL) was added methyl-2-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate (1.98 g, 12.26 mmol) at room temperature and the resulting reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 17 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with H2O (3×100 mL), saturated ammonium chloride (2×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by recrystallization from diethyl ether to afford methyl 2-aminobenzoxazole-4-carboxylate (1.10 g, 50%) as a brown solid. 1H NMR and MS consistent.
