Imidazole → (R)-4-(3-Iodo-2-methylpropyl]-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction flask was charged with (R)-4-(3-Hydroxy-2-methylpropyl]-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one (1.71 g, 7.77 mmol), triphenylphosphine (4.50 g, 17.2 mmol), imidazole (1.27, 18.7 mmol), and iodine (5.54 g, 21.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and stirred at rt for 20 h. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium thiosulfate, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The product was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2; n-heptane/EtOAc 2:1) to give the title compound (2.25 g, 87%).
