Potassium Carbonate → 2-Aminobenzoxazole

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of an appropriate 2-chlorobenzoxazole, A1 (1 eq), and appropriate amine (2 eq) and optional base (e.g. K2CO3, triethylamine, disopropylamine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undecene, or sodium hydride) in THF (or DME, DMF) was heated in the range of 20 to 80° C. up to 24 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (typical eluents include 9:1 dichloromethane/methanol, ethyl acetate, hexanes) to afford the desired product 2-aminobenzoxazole. Product structure was confirmed by 1H NMR or by mass analysis.
