A general method has been developed for the solid phase synthesis of drug-like 7-aryl-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)- one derivatives 6. The method relies on a novel, microwave irradiation promoted cyclization reaction of the BOMBA resin bound, N-substituted-$\alpha$-(2-chloro-4-bromophenoxy)acetamide 3 that takes place via a Smiles rearrangement. The 7-bromobenzo[1,4]oxazine 4, produced in this process is converted to 7-aryloxazin analogs 5 by utilizing Suzuki coupling with various substituted arylboronic acids. Finally, the target 7-aryl-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3(4H)-ones 6 are liberated from the resin by treatment with 5% TFA. The progress of the reactions involved in this preparative route can be monitored by using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy on a single bead. The target compounds, obtained by using this five-step sequence, are produced in high yields and purities.

An efficient solid-phase methodology has been developed for the synthesis of 2-amino and 2-amidobenzo[d]-oxazole derivatives. The key step in this procedure involves the preparation of polymer-bound 2-aminobenzo-[d]oxazole resins 4 by cyclization reaction of 2-hydroxy-phenylthiourea resin 3. The resin-bound 2-hydroxyphenylthiourea 3 is produced by the addition of 2-aminophenol to the isothiocyanate-terminated resin 2 and serve as a key intermediate for the linker resin. This core skeleton 2-aminobenzo[d]oxazole resin 4 undergoes functionalization reaction with various electrophiles, such as alkylhalides and acid chlorides to generate 2-amino and 2-amidobenzo[d]oxazole resins 5 and 6 respectively. Finally, 2-amino and 2-amidobenzo[d]oxazole derivatives 7 and 8 are then generated in good yields and purities by cleavage of the respective resins 5 and 6 under trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$).
