摘要: An efficient and scalable transformation of 3-halo-N-acyl anilines to the corresponding benzoxazoles within a continuous flow reactor is reported. This proceeds via base-mediated deprotonation, ortho-lithiation, intramolecular cyclization provide unstable lithiated benzoxazole moieties. The subsequent in-line electrophilic quench results in formation substituted high yield quality. Continuous technology allowed for accurate temperature control immediate while minimizing hold-up time intermediates thereby associated byproduct formation.
