3,5-Dichloro-1,2-benzoxazole → HCID 23368515, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.94 g of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxymethyl-2,2-dimethyloxazolidine in 28 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added to a solution of 6.02 g of potassium tert-butoxide in 28 ml of tetrahydrofuran at 10°-15° C., and they are subjected to reaction at the same temperature for two hours. Subsequently, this reaction mixture is added under reflux to a solution of 5.64 g of 3,5-dichloro-1,2-benzoisoxazole in 28 ml of tetrahydrofuran and they are refluxed for a further one hour. The reaction mixture is cooled and thereafter the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure, after which ethyl acetate and water are added to the residue obtained, and after shaking, the organic layer is separated. The separated organic layer is washed with a saturated saline solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, after which the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The crystals obtained are recrystallized from n-hexane to obtain 8.41 g of colorless, crystalline 3-[(3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2,2-dimethyloxazolidin-4-yl)methoxy]-5-chloro-1,2-benzoisoxazole having a melting point of 117°-118° C.
