  • Process for the synthesis of chlorzoxazone
    Patent number: 9567308
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the synthesis of chlorzoxazone (1) from 4-chloro-2-aminophenol and ethyl chloroformate in the presence of a base. The process is particularly advantageous because it uses ethyl chloroformate instead of triphosgene, a highly dangerous reagent that releases phosgene and must be handled with extremely strict procedures to guarantee the safety of operators in industrial facilities. Ethyl chloroformate allows the possibility of working with a number of solvents, including water. The yield and purity of the product obtained are very high.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: PROCOS S.P.A.
