Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2,3-dihydropyrrolo[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazine-5,6-dione (33.1 g) in acetic acid-acetic anhydride (200 ml, 1:1) under ice-cooling was added fuming nitric acid (9.4 ml) dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 0.5 hours at the same temperature (0° C.) and for an hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (500 ml) and the resultant precipitate was collected by filtration. This precipitate was washed with water and dried to give 26.9 g (65.5%) of the title compound. The filtrate was extracted with chloroform, washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution successively and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation of chloroform further afforded 2.9 g of the title compound. This compound was recrystallized from acetonitrile to give yellow needles, mp 230-°232° C.
