Abstract
Benzoxazolone pharmacophore is present in many compounds having a wide spectrum of biological activities. Treatment of N-alkyl-N-arylhydroxylamines with trichloroacetyl chloride and triethylamine afforded 3-alkylbenzoxazolones generally in good yields at ambient temperatures. The present method is mild, wide in scope, economical, and regioselective. Many sensitive groups are tolerated.
