Procedure
A synthesis of (E)-(5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)(2-hydroxyphenyl)methanone O-methyl oxime (13) is illustrated in Scheme 2A. According to the synthesis, methyl salicylate reacts with ethyl chloro acetate in the presence of potassium carbonate to give methyl 2-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethoxy)benzoate (6). Hydrolysis of methyl 2-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethoxy)benzoate (6) followed by a consecutive cyclization of 2-(carboxymethoxy)benzoic acid (7) with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate gives benzofuran-3-yl acetate (8) which is converted to benzofuran-3(2H)-one (9) by methanolysis. Treatment of benzofuran-3(2H)-one (9) with O-methylhydroxylamine and sodium acetate affords benzofuran-3(2H)-one O-methyl oxime (10) which is oxidized with tert-butyl nitrate in hydrochloric acid to yield (3E)-benzofuran-2,3-dione O3-methyl dioxime (11A). In the presence of potassium hydroxide, (3E)-benzofuran-2,3-dione O3-methyl dioxime (11A) opens ethylene oxide resulting (3E)-benzofuran-2,3-dione O2-(2-hydroxyethyl) O3-methyl dioxime (12A) that undergoes potassium hydroxide-catalyzed cyclization to provide (E)-(5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)(2-hydroxyphenyl)methanone O-methyl oxime (13).
