After the addition the mixture was heated to reflux for 4 hours, then cooled and concentrated. The residue was treated with water and the resultant solid washed with ether to give 6-chloro-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one (4.2 g, 93% yield) as a buff coloured solid; 1H NMR (270 Mz): 3.2(1H,brd), 4.42(2H,s), 6.8-7.0(3H,m) ppm.
