Reaction Steps

Following Intermediate Method 4, the reaction of 2-hydroxy-4-nitroaniline with sodium hydride and 1,2-dibromoethane in N,N-dimethylformamide produces 2,3-dihydro-7-nitro-1,4-benzoxazine, (XIX). The reaction of (XIX) with sodium hydride and 2-iodopropane in N,N-dimethylformamide yields 2,3-dihydro-4-(1-methylethyl)-7-nitro-1,4-benzoxazine, (XX). Hydrogenation of (XX) with platinum oxide yielded (XXI). ##STR31##
