[Synthesis]
The mixture of 13.1 mg (0.078 mmol) of 2-azidobenzoic acid and
10.8 mg (0.078 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 10 mL ethanol was irradiated for 1 h
with intensive stirring. The reaction mixture was added to 50 mL water, extracted with
benzene and eluted through silica gel. The benzisoxazole-containing solution was
evaporated in vacuo affording 2,1-benzisoxazole-3(1H)-one with 75% yield. Pale
yellow crystals reddening at room temperature and stored at −20 °C. 1H NMR (400
