Procedure

To a solution of 5-methoxy-2-nitroaniline (500 mg, 2.99 mmol) and TFA (3.07 mL) in DCM (15 mL) at 5° C. was added NaBH(OAc)3 (1.9 g, 8.97 mmol). To the resulting mixture at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of 2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazole-6-carbaldehyde (630 mg, 3.29 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) and. the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with H2O, aq NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 5-methoxy-N-((2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazol-6-yl)methyl)-2-nitro aniline as a light brown solid (1.06 g, 100%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.90 (t, 1H), 8.04 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (s, 1H), 7.60 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 6.28-6.32 (m, 2H), 4.73 (d, J=6 Hz, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 2.74 (s, 3H). LCMS (ESI) m/z 345 (M+H)+.
