Sodium hydride → 3-(4,4-Diethoxybutyl)-[1,3]oxazocan-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4,4-diethoxybutyl)carbamic acid 5-chloro-pentyl ester (11.4 g, 44 mmole) dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added de-oiled sodium hydride (1.01 g, 42.3 mmole). The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature, and then at 70° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was diluted with water, saturated aqueous sodium chloride was added, and extracted with ethyl ether. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (magnesium sulfate), and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography, gave 3-(4,4-diethoxybutyl)-[1,3]oxazocan-2-one (2.03 g) as a viscous oil.
