Triphosgene → 6-Bromo-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-amino-5-bromophenyl)methanol (772 mg, 3.8 mmol) in 15 ml THF was added triphosgene (1.03 g, 3.8 mmol) under nitrogen. After precipitation of a colorless solid, stirring was continued for 20 min before water was added. The solution was extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated, affording 6-bromo-1H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-2(4H)-one (830 mg, 3.64 mmol, 96%) as colorless solid.
