After addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and filtered. The filter cake was washed with hot MeOH (3×1 L) and the combined organic phase was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was washed with THF (3×500 mL) and the combined organic phase was concentrated to give the crude (R)-6-amino-4-methyl-2,10-dihydro-9-oxa-1,2,4a-triaza-phenanthren-3-one (50 g, 215 mmol, containing residual NH4Cl), which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 6.68 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.43 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.16 (dd, J=2.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.83 (br. s., 1H), 4.56-4.52 (m, 1H), 4.47-4.39 (m, 2H), 1.31 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 3H). LCMS (Table 1, Method 3) Rt=0.803 min; MS m/z: 233 [M+H]+.
