반응 단계

A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (2.1 g, 11.3 mmol) and thionyl chloride (20 mL) was refluxed for 3 h and then cooled to rt. The excess thionyl chloride was removed and the residue dissolved in 10 mL of THF was added to a cooled (0° C.) solution of 2-aminophenol (1.24 g, 11.3 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (2.4 mL, 13.6 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL). The resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 h and then cooled to rt. The solvent was removed and p-toluenesulfonic acid (8.63 g, 45.4 mmol) and toluene (50 mL) were added to afford a dark mixture that was refluxed overnight. The solvent was removed and the crude was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexanes:CH2Cl2 (1:5) to afford 2-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)-1,3-benzoxazole as a colorless solid.
