Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 100 ml three-necked round-bottomed flask equipped with dropping funnel, thermometer, and nitrogen inlet were added 10 grams (0.035 mol) 6-(4-bromobutyryl)-benzoxazolone and 26.08 ml (0.35 mol) trifluoroacetic acid. To the stirring suspension was added dropwise 12.93 ml (0.080 mol) triethylsilane, and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction was then poured into water, and the resulting white solid filtered and washed with water. It was then suspended in isopropyl ether, stirred, and filtered to afford white solid 6-(4-trifluoroacetoxybutyl)-benzoxazolone, m.p. 100°-103° C., 10.47 grams (98.7%).
