cf. C. A. 14, 926. In the continuation of the study of the opening of the ring of benzoxazole (A) and its homologs a number of interesting observations were made which seem to be characteristic of the A system. All attempts to prepare benzoxazole-2-nitrile from the 2-NH2 derivative through the diazonium compound failed; after the treatment with HNO2, the amine does, to be sure, give a distinct violet color with R-salt, but the greater part of the amine is always recovered unchanged. A decisive proof of the aromatic nature of A derivatives, however, is found in the oxidation of 2-methyl-benzoxazole to benzoxazole-2-carboxylic acid (B), which can be obtained in better yield by the oxidation of 2-o-hydroxyphenylbenzoxazole (C). Instead of reacting normally to form a ketone with Grignard reagents, the chloride of B to a great extent, the anilide exclusively, exerts an energetic reducing action. The chloride with PhMgBr gives chiefly benzoxazylmethyl alc. (D), together with a little benzoxazyldiphenylcarbinol (E), probably formed by combination of a 2nd mol. of the PhMgBr with the primary intermediate ketone; E in concentrated H2SO4 exhibits deep red halochromism phenomena, another fact indicative of the aromatic nature of the A derivatives The anilide with MeMgI gives exclusively benzoxazole-2-aldehyde anil (F), undoubtedly formed by reduction of the tautomeric form O.C6H4.N:CC(OH):NPh of the anilide; contrary to other Schiff bases, F is hardly attacked by acids but easily decomposed into the aldehyde and PhNH2 by alkalies. The desired benzoxazyl Ph ketone (G) was finally obtained from its oxime which in turn was prepared from 2-benzylbenzoxazole (H). The velocity of hydrolysis of a further number of 2-substituted derivatives of A has been measured; the reaction is apparently monomol. (the H2O being present in excess) and in all but the Bz and PhCH2 derivatives the velocity constants found agreed with those calculated for a monomol. reaction. Below are given, after the substituent, the time in min. and the velocity constant (0.4343k): At 19°: H, 1, 0.0915. At 61°: PhCH2, 29, 0.0094; 120, 0.0031; Et, 30, 0.0033; 128, 0.0031; Me, 60, 0.00279; 120, 0.00279. At 108°: Me, 5, 0.0926; 20, 0.0848; m-O2NC6H4, 372, 0.0059; Bz, 58, 0.0047; 121, 0.0023; Ph, 134, 0.0019; 360, 0.0017; p-MeOC6H4, 371, 0.00067; 887, 0.00066; β-naphthyl, 479, 0.00058; 936, 0.00049; α-naphthyl, 436, 0.00024; 1024, 0.00019; o-HOC6H4, 960, 0.00024; 2450, 0.00013; p-O2NC6H4, 1100, 0.00010; 2615, 0.00005. The sharp difference between aliphatic and aromatic radicals, which had already been pointed out, is clear. Also, the velocity of hydrolysis of the Et is somewhat greater than that of the Me derivative, i. e., the valence demand (see S. and Freundlich C. A. 16, 3646) of Et is smaller than that of Me, in accordance with Meerwein’s observation that alkyls with an odd number of C atoms have a greater affinity demand than those with an even number The great difference between the unsubstituted A and its Me homolog shows that in this respect (valence demand), also, H occupies a peculiar position, which certainly is closely connected with the differing properties of the initial members of homologous series (HCO2H, HCHO, differences between aldehydes and ketones, etc.). The temperature coefficient of the reaction as determined for the Me derivative (2.07 according to the Berthelot, 4015 according to the Arrhenius formula) is strikingly small as compared with those usually found for apparently monomol. reactions. C, obtained in 53% yield from equimol, amounts of and o-H2NC6H4OH and o-HOC6H4CONH2 fused together until the temperature rises to 200° and NH3 is no longer evolved (about 1.5 h.), long needles with a pink tinge from alc., m. 123°, soluble in organic solvents generally with a strong fluorescence, in AcOH with red-violet color, difficulty in alkali with violet fluorescence; in KOH with KMnO4 on the H2O-bath it gives 48% of the potassium salt, golden yellow leaflets, of B, white precipitate, m. 85°, loses CO2 with formation of A on the H2O-bath, also when heated with 20% HCl but not with boiling alkalies. Chloride, obtained in 93.7% yield from the K salt and SOCl2 on the H2O -bath, m. 85°, has an unpleasant penetrating odor; 4 g. in Et2O cautiously treated with the calculated amount of PhMgBr, boiled 1 h. and allowed to stand overnight yields a product separated by means of cold alc. into 0.3 g. E, m. 157°, and D (obtained exclusively if the PhMgBr is added to a hot solution of the chloride), m. 125°, b14 200-30°. Anilide of B, m. 156-7°. F (5 g. from 10 g. of the anilide with MeMgI), m. 153°. Refluxed 1 h. in alc. with 3.7 g. ONC6H4NMe2 and 3 cc. of 35% NaOH, 5 g. H gives 5 g. of the compound O.C6H4.N:CCPh: NC6H4NMe2, fine needles from alc., begins to decompose 150°. The compound O.C6H4.N:CCPh:NNHC6H3(NO2)2 (1.5 g. from 1.5 g. H in AcOH allowed to stand 12 h. with 2,4-(O2N)2C6H3N:NSO4H), yellow crystals from PhMe, m. 140°. Oxime of G (18 g. from 20 g. H in cold Et2O, 10 g. NaOEt and 15 g. AmNO2. shaken several hrs., filtered, dissolved in NaOH, freed from AmOH with Et2O and precipitated with CO2), crystals from 50% alc., m. 193°; 4 g. heated 2 h. at 180-90° in a sealed tube with 40 g. AcOH (dehydrated by freezing twice and distilling over P2O5), gives 2-2.5 g. G, soluble with golden yellow color in concentrated H2SO4 or HCl, reprecipitated by H2O. 2-Ethylbenzoxazole, from o-H2NC6H4OH and EtCN heated 24 h. at 205-10°, b. 210°, d20 1.081. 2-β-Naphthylbenzoxazole, from o-H2NC6H4OH and β-C10H7CN boiled 8 h., m. 115-6°, fluoresces strongly in 2-p-Nitrophenylbenzoxazole (1 g. from H2NC6H4OH and 5 g. O2NC6H4CN heated 1 h. at 135-40° and sublimed through filter paper), long needles with pink tinge from CHCl3, m. 260°, soluble in hydrocarbons with intense green fluorescence. The o- and m-compounds cannot be prepared in this way; that a derivative of A is formed is indicated by the intense green fluorescence of the solution of the product in petr. ether, which, however, dissolves but traces of it; vacuum distillation leads to decomposition and only traces of a high boiling product are obtained; raising the temperature of the condensation reaction or using a higher boiling solvent (cumene, PhCl) also results in decomposition The m-compound was prepared by Ransom’s method (Am. Chem. J. 23, 24 (1900)) (yield, 4.5%). All the hydrolysis velocity measurements were made with 20.2% HCl.
