Participants

Reaction Steps

37 g (0.165 mol) of ethyl 8-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxine-5-carboxylate dissolved in 370 ml of dioxane are introduced into a 1 l round-bottomed flask, 23.2 g (0.174 mol) of N-chlorosuccinimide are added, at room temperature and with magnetic stirring, and the mixture is stirred overnight. It is diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate and, after the usual processing of the organic phase, 42 g of compound are obtained, which product is recrystallized from a mixture of diethyl ether and diisopropyl ether.
