Chlorosuccinimide → 7-Chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-hydroxy-1,4-benzodioxane (1.52 g, 10 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (1.33 g, 10 mmol) at ambient temperature. The solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography and eluted with a 15% to 30% gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford 7-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-ol (1.79 g, 96%) as a colorless solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ8.02 (s, 1H), 6.83 (s, 1H), 6.56 (s, 1H), 4.27-4.16 (m, 4H).
