Procedure
In xylene (20 ml), 2-chlorobenzoxazole (845 μl, 7.40 mmol) and tert-butyl 4-amino-3-methylphenylacetate (1.26 g, 5.69 mmol) were heated under reflux for 2 hours under stirring. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue was dissolved in chloroform/methanol (9:1, v/v, 100 ml). The resulting solution was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column, whereby from n-hexane/ethyl acetate (4:1, v/v) eluate fractions, tert-butyl (4-(2-benzoxazolyl)amino-3-methylphenyl)acetate (1.17 g, 61%) was obtained as a yellow amorphous substance.
