Dimethylformamide → 2-Chloro-1,3-benzoxazol-6-OL

Temperature

80 °C

2-Mercapto-benzoxazol-6-ol (1 eq) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (10 eq). DMF (0.6 eq) was slowly added to this solution at room temperature. The mixture was heated to 80° C. and refluxed for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed. The resulting solid was azeotroped three times with xylenes. The solid was dissolved in a 10% solution of THF in ethyl acetate and washed once with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent removed. The solid was triturated with acetonitrile to yield pure product with a 68% yield. MH+=170.0.
