Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 5-bromo-6-fluorobenzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one (3.6 g, 14.74 mmol) and DMSO (150 mL), and MeI (4.18 g, 29.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (5.09 g, 36.9 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was poured to water (1.2 L) and the precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried under high vacuum at 60° C. for 1 h to give 5-bromo-6-fluoro-3-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-one. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 3.32 (s, 3H) 7.62 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 1H) 7.70 (d, J=6.06 Hz, 1H).
