To a solution of 3.0 g of 2-bromomethylbenzoxazole [prepared according to the procedures described in Belgian Pat. No. 624,463] in 40 ml of methanol was added a solution of 1.9 g of sodium sulfite in 40 ml of water. The mixture was heated with stirring at 60° C. for 6 hours and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude sodium benzoxazole-2-methanesulfonate (4.5 g). To the sodium salt was added 15 ml of phosphorus oxychloride and the mixture was heated under reflux for one hour. The removal of the remaining phosphorus oxychloride by distillation under reduced pressure gave the desired product as an oil.
