Procedure

A mixture of methyl 2-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate (3.5 g, 20.70 mmol) and 2-chloro-1,1,1-trimethoxyethane (3.0 mL, 22.06 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL) was stirred under reflux for 6 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and the solvent volume was reduced under reduced pressure approximately to ⅔ of initial volume. The precipitate formed was filtered, washed with ether (3×10 mL), and dried under vacuum to afford methyl 2-(chloromethyl)benzoxazole-4-carboxylate (3.1 g, 66%) as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.05 (dd, J=8.0, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (dd, J=9.0, 1.0 Hz 1H), 7.47 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.84 (s, 2H), 4.04 (s, 3H); (APCI+) m/z 226 (M+H).
