Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2-fluoro-5-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)hydroxyacetic acid (prepared according to 72C) (2.4 g), ortho-aminophenol (1.03 g) in xylene (25 mL) is refluxed for 4 h with a Dean-Stark apparatus and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (gradient dichloromethane/methanol/ammonia from 100/0/0 to 98/2/0.5) to afford the pure benzoxazol-2-yl(2-fluoro-5-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)methanol.
