Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-[7-fluoro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-on-6-yl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (2 g) and potassium carbonate (1.05 g) in acetonitrile (30 ml) is refluxed for 30 minutes. The resulting solution is cooled to a temperature of 5° C. To the solution is added dropwise chloroacetonitrile (0.72 g), and thereafter the solution is refluxed for 3 hours. The solvent is distilled off, and the residue is admixed with water and subjected to an extraction operation with the aid of dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer is separated off, washed with water, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solution is concentrated to precipitate a crystalline product, which is then recrystallized in a solvent consisting of acetonitrile and water. As an end product, 2-[7-fluoro-4-cyanomethyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-on-6-yl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (0.84 g) is obtained. mp. 216°-220° C.
