Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At room temperature, an ethanolic solution (1100 mL) of 4-(3-methoxypropyl)-6-nitro-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one (91.0 g, 0.34 mol) is treated with 6N HCl (170 mL, 1.02 mol of HCl) and powdered Fe (57.0 g, 1.02 mol), heated to 70° C., stirred for 15 h, cooled to 0° C., treated with 6N NaOH (250 mL), and filtered on a celite pad. The filtrate is diluted with CH2Cl2 (1000 mL), and the aq. layer is separated. The org. layer is washed with brine (2×300 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated to give 6-amino-4-(3-methoxypropyl)-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one as light brown solid.
