2-(5-Fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenoxy)acetic acid → 7-Fluoro-6-amino-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenoxyacetic acid (0.25 g) and platinum dioxide (80 mg) in ethanol (10 ml) was subjected to catalytic reduction at room temperature under an ordinary pressure until 130 ml of hydrogen was absorbed. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 7-fluoro-6-amino-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (0.16 g; yield, 91.4%). M.P., more than 300° C.
