Procedure
To a stirred solution of 3-amino-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-carboxamide (82.2 mg, 0.461 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in anhydrous toluene (8 mL) under an inert atmosphere was added oxalyl chloride (70.2 mg, 553 μmol, 1.2 eq.) in a dropwise manner. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux (115° C.) for 4 hours whereupon it was cooled and stirred for a further 16 hours. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated to half of its volume and filtered to give a colorless solid (41.5 mg, 45%).
