Participants

Reaction Steps

2.5 g (14.1 mmol) of 6-acetyl-3H-benzoxazol-2-one are dissolved in 150 ml of methanol, and the mixture is stirred for 5 h with 2.5 g of palladium on activated carbon (5%) and under a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalyst is filtered off with suction and rinsed with methanol. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness and dried in vacuo.
