2,6-Difluorobenzoyl chloride → 2-(2,6-Difluoro-phenyl)-6,7-difluoro-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4,5-difluorobenzoic acid (0.5 g), 2,6-difluorobenzoyl chloride (0.80 mL) and triethyl amine/toluene (1/1) (18 mL) were reacted as described under (10). Reaction time 1 day. Extraction between ethyl acetate (20 mL) and HCl (2N,20 mL), followed by separation of the organic toluene and precipitated with hexane. The resulting mixture was further purified on a silicagel column using dichloromethane as eluent. The isolated fraction identified as 2-(2,6-difluoro-phenyl)-6,7-difluoro-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one (0.71 g), mp. 165 C, MS m/e: 295 M+.
