Toluene → 5-chloro-2,4-dihydro-1H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of potassium hydroxide (1.68 g, 30 mmol) and 2-amino-6-chlorobenzoic acid (3.43 g, 20 mmol) in water (25 mL) at 0° C. was treated dropwise with 20% phosgene in toluene (16.8 mL, 32 mmol) resulting in a precipitate. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give the title compound (3.6 g, 91%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.11 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 1H), 7.31 (d, J=6.99 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (t, J=8.09 Hz, 1H), 11.83 (s, 1H).
