Reaktionsschritte

5-Chloro-2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoxazole (30 g), was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL), and Raney-Nickel which had been pre-washed with water (×3) and tetrahydrofuran (×3), was added. The mixture was then hydrogenated at room temperature and 50 psi of hydrogen. The reaction is complete in approximately 1.5 hours. After this period, the catalyst is filtered off and the solution concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is triturated with heptane, cooled and the solid filtered off. Yield 6-amino-5-chloro-2-methylbenzoxazole (1), 22 g.
