Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2-methylbenzoxazole (30.0 g, 0,203 mol) and 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran (30.0 g, 0.227 mol) were combined with 90 mL of acetic acid and the solution was heated at reflux for 1 hr. The mixture was evaporated to a red slurry and mixed with hexane to give a dark solid. The solid was dissolved in methylene chloride and extracted with basic water. The organic phase was removed, dried, and evaporated to a brown solid. Recrystallization from hexane/heptane afforded 18 g (45% yield) of product, m.p. 115°-121° C.
