2H-pyrido(3,2-b)-1,4-oxazin-3(4H)-one → 3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyrido(3,2-b)(1,4)oxazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2H-pyrido[3,2-b]-1,4-oxazin-3(4H)-one (2.0 g, 13.3 mmole) in dry THF (40 mL) was added a solution of LiAlH4 in THF (1.0 M, 26.6 mL, 26.6 mmole) slowly at 0° C. After 1 hr the mixture was quenched with 2.0 M NaOH until a solid formed. The mixture was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.44 g, 79%) as a white solid which was sufficiently pure for use in the next step: MS (ES) m/e 137 (M+H)+.
