Water → 3,4-dihydro-4-[(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)methyl]-2H-pyrido[3,2-b]-1,4-oxazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[3,2-b]-1,4-oxazine (0.4 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) was added sodium hydride (60% oil suspension; 0.24 g) in portions. After a few minutes, a solution of 2-chloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane (0.43 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml) was added dropwise to the mixture. After stirring for 2 hours, the mixture was poured into a mixed solvent of water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water twice, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:1) as an eluent to give 3,4-dihydro-4-[(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)methyl]-2H-pyrido[3,2-b]-1,4-oxazine (0.28 g) as an oil.
