3-Benzyl-8-methyl-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,4-dione → 3-Benzyl-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-benzyl-2,4-dioxo-8-methyl-3,8-diazabicyclo(3.2.1)octane (U.S. Pat. No. 3,328,396) (1.05 g) and pyridinium hydrochloride (5 g) was heated in an oil-bath at 220° C. for 25 minutes. After cooling, the mixture was taken up with water (30 mL) and extracted with ether. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, evaporated to give 0.45 g of crude product which was chromatographed over silica gel using dichloromethane - ethyl acetate 80:20 as eluent to give 0.3 g of crystallized titled product. MP 72° C.
