A. 2-Methyl-6-aminobenzoxazole (479A) To a solution of 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoxazole (100 mg, 0.560 mmol) in AcOH (2 mL) was added iron powder (325 mesh, 63.0 mg, 1.12 mmol) at 70° C. in a single portion. After 15 min at 70° C. additional iron powder (325 mesh, 63.0 mg, 1.12 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 15 min. The mixture was cooled and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was taken up into EtOAc and washed with sat. Na2CO3 followed by H2O. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluding with a gradient of 0 to 25percent EtOAc in CH2Cl2 to yield 69 mg (83percent) of compound 479A as a solid.
