Potassium Carbonate → 7-Bromo-2,2-dimethyl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.0 g 2-Amino-5-bromophenol were dissolved in 100 ml acetone. Then 11.0 g potassium carbonate and 6.74 g ethyl-2-bromoisobutyrate were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and refluxed overnight. The cooled reaction mixture was then filtrated and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to obtain 4.6 g 7-Bromo-2,2-dimethyl-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one as a yellow solid.
