Reaction Steps

The mixture containing 5-methoxybenzoxazole-2-thiol was heated in thionyl chloride with a drop of DMF. The resultant mixture was concentrated and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried and concentrated. Purification on a silica gel column gave 2-chloro-5-methoxybenzoxazole as a white solid. MS: MH+=184.
