Procedure

To a suspension of 4-acetylamino-2-methyl-benzoic acid (2.0 g, 10.3 mmol) in PPA (˜85 g) was added aminophenol (1.2 g, 10.8 mmol). The reaction was heated to 200° C. for 2 h, then carefully quenched in aqueous sodium carbonate (˜50% saturated) at room temperature. Ethyl acetate was added, and the organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The crude product was obtained as an orange oil and was subsequently purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the desired product, 4-benzooxazol-2-yl-3-methyl-phenylamine as a colorless solid, 290 mg (13%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.84-7.81 (m, 1H), 7.64-7.62 (m, 2H), 7.32-7.27 (m, 2H), 6.51 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 5.83 (s, 2H), 2.61 (s, 3H). LC-MS m/z=225 [C14H12N2O+H]+.
