Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of 7-amino-4-methyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (10.0 g, 56 mmol) in water (80 mL) was added concentrated sulfuric acid (17 mL). After stirring at 0° C. for 10 min, a solution of sodium nitrite (4.1 g, 59 mmol) in water (10 mL) was added dropwise. After stirring for 0.5 h, the reaction mixture was added dropwise to a solution of cupric sulfate (50 g) in water (300 mL) at reflux. Once the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and was extracted with ethyl acetate (5×200 mL). The combined organic solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by trituration with ice-cold ethyl acetate (25 mL) and the solid was collected by vacuum filtration, air-dried and dried under high vacuum to afford 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (3.22 g, 32%) as a tan solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ9.40 (s, 1H), 6.95 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 6.45 (dd, J=8.7, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 6.40 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 4.56 (s, 2H), 3.21 (s, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 180.1 (M+1).
