After 18 hours the ether layer was separated, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution (2N) and with brine, dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated. The residue was purified by dry column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane, to give 2-(2,3-dihydro-6-methyl-4-oxo-5-phenyl-4H-1,3-oxazin-3-yl)-2-methylhex-5-en-3-one (Compound 7, 0.12 g) as a yellow oil, NMR 1H δ1.4(s,6H), 1.88(s,3H), 3.22(d,2H), 5.05(m,2H), 5.22(s,2H), 5.9(m.1H), 7.2-7.35(m,5H).
