Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 19766029, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.5 ml (35.2 mmol) of 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride and 1.0 g (6.19 mmol) of 4-aminoresorcinol hydrochloride were introduced into a three-necked flask provided with a thermometer and a cooling condenser, and the mixture was heated at 170° to 235° C. for 1 hour, then the excessive acid chloride was removed by distillation. To the residue, 1.5 g (38.5 mmol) of NaOH, 20 ml of THF, 20 ml of water and 10 ml of ethanol were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 2 hours. The reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, the extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride water solution, and ethyl acetate was distilled off. Recrystallizing the residue with water/methanol/THF and drying the crystal, there was obtained 250 mg (1.02 mmol) of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-hydroxybenzoxazole. The yield was 16.5%.
