Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.00 g of 5-chloro-2-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,2-benzoisoxazolin-3-one in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was added 0.40 g of trichloromethyl chloroformate and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. followed by adding dropwise 0.42 g of triethylamine. After stirring at the same temperature for 30 minutes, 5.0 ml of a 28% ammonia solution was added. Furthermore, after stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was refluxed by heating for 3 hours followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 ml) and the solution was washed with a 10% NaCl solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the drying agent was removed by filtration. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (developing solvent: ethyl acetate) through silica gel to afford 0.75 g (64.1%) of the title compound having melting point 161°-162° C. as a colorless powder.
