Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Benzoxazolinone (13.5 g, 0.1 mol) was added slowly to a 0° C. solution of chlorosulfonic acid (33.29 mL, 5 equivalents). The reaction was warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 0.5 h, heated to 60° C. for 3 h. The reaction was cooled to 25° C., poured into ice, filtered, and rinsed with water. The resulting white solid was redissolved in 500 mL of diethyl ether and washed with water (2×), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to 100 mL volume. Hexane was added (100 mL) and the white precipitate was filtered and placed under vacuum to yield 17 g (73%) of the title compound.
