Synthesis of Benzoxazolones

2-phenoxycarbonyl-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one is a solid stable carbonyl source that is a recyclable. The reagent enables the synthesis of benzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-ones, benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-ones, and benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-ones using in one pot out under neutral or acidic conditions to give the corresponding heterocycles in very good yields.

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.
