Reaction Steps

2 g (32.4 mmol; 1 eq.) of boric acid is added to a solution of 5 g (32.4 mmol) of 2-amino-3-nitrophenol and 5.12 g (32.4 mmol; 1 eq.) of 2,6-difluorobenzoic acid in 50 ml of xylene. The mixture is heated under reflux of the xylene for 8 hours with elimination of the water formed by a Dean-Stark apparatus. After returning to ambient temperature, the reaction medium is diluted by 100 ml of ethyl acetate and neutralized by a 10% aqueous solution of soda. The organic phase is washed 3 times with 50 ml of water then with a saturated solution of NaCl before being dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-4-nitro-1,3-benzoxazole is used without other purification in the following stage.
