Reaction Steps

In a 15 mL reaction tube was added 6-bromo-7-phenyl-1H-pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]oxazin-2(3H)-one (300 mg, 0.983 mmol), iodoethane (0.095 mL, 1.180 mmol) and potassium carbonate (408 mg, 2.95 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) to give a brown suspension. This was stirred at 50° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 60 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (5 mL) and extracted into ethyl acetate (3×5 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with 50:50 water:brine (3×5 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give a brown solid. This was purified by Biotage chromatography (25 g silica cartridge, cyclohexane:ethyl acetate, gradient elution from 90:10 to 20:80) to give the title compound as a beige solid (160 mg, 48.8% yield).
