Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 2-amino-4-bromo-5-fluorophenol (3.3 g, 18.84 mmol) and THF (200 mL), and CDI (3.05 g, 18.84 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated to 60° C. for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1N HCl in water. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 5-bromo-6-fluorobenzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δppm 7.38 (d, J=6.06 Hz, 1H) 7.56 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 1H) 11.88 (br. s., 1H).
