Several 2,1,3-benzoxadiazole N-oxide (benzofuroxan) derivatives are synthesized from the corresponding o-chloronitrobenzenes in a one-pot operation by stirring with sodium azide in dichloroethane in the presence of benzyl tributylammonium bromide as a phase-transfer catalyst. The moderate reaction conditions enable the isolation of the intermediate reactive azido compounds.
