Reaction Steps

14.3 g (63.5 mmol; 5 eq.) of tin chloride is added to a solution of 3.5 g (12.7 mmol) of 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-4-nitro-1,3-benzoxazole in 60 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture is stirred for 2 hours at 60° C., then, after returning to ambient temperature and the addition of 100 ml of water, is neutralized by a 50% aqueous solution of soda. The precipitate formed is filtered on a Celite bed and washed with ethanol. The resulting solution is concentrated under reduced pressure, then the desired product is extracted, 3 times with 50 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, washed twice with 30 ml of a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1,3-benzoxazol-4-amine is used without other purification in the following stage.
