Chloroacetyl chloride → 7-Chloro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-5-chloro-phenol (27) (2.0 g, 14 mmol, 1 equiv) in 30 ml of THF, chloroacetyl chloride (1.26 ml, 16.8 mmol, 1.2 equiv), and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 50 mL was stirred at RT for 2 hrs and then heated at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, and washed with water. Purification of the crude product by flash chromatography provided 7-chloro-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one (28): LCMS Retention time: 1.48 min.; LCMS observed (M+H)+: 184.
