Chloroacetyl chloride → Methyl 8-iodo-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cold, stirred solution of Methyl 3-amino-4-hydroxy-5-iodobenzoate (2.3 g) and sodium bicarbonate (1.5 g) in 1:1 isobutyl methyl ketone/water (80 mL) was added chloroacetyl chloride (1.1 g), and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and heated at reflux for 18 h. After overnight, a beige solid formed. The mixture was filtered, and washed with water and hexanes to give 2.4 g of the title compound: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.98, 7.89, 7.47, 4.79, 3.82.
