Chloroacetyl chloride → 5-Hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 2-aminobenzene-1,3-diol (2.0 g, 16.0 mmol) and TEA (1.94 g, 19.2 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (30 mL) was treated with 2-chloroacetyl chloride (1.81 g, 16.0 mmol) and stirring continued for 16 h at room temperature, then K2CO3 (2.65 g, 19.2 mmol) was added and the mixture further stirred for 16 h at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (100 mL), washed twice with water and then with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by chromatographic column of silicagel to give desired product (1.7 g, 64% yield) LCMS (m/z): 166.1 [M+H]+.
