5-Chloro-7-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzoxazol-2-one → 7-Amino-2(3H)-benzoxazolone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-chloro-7-nitro-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-one from Step A (1.10 g, 5.13 mmol) in EtOH (50 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (300 mg). The reaction mixture was shaken in a Parr aparatus under a hydrogen atmosphere (40 p.s.i.) for 18 h, then filtered through a Celite pad, washing with EtOH, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound. MS: m/z=151 (M+1).
