Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[7-Fluoro-5-nitro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-3(4H)-on-6-yl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (1.3 g) was dissolved in anhydrous dimethylformamide (15 ml) and was slowly added to a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (0.11 g) in dimethylformamide (15 ml) under ice cooling. Solution was stirred for 0.5 hr followed by the addition of methyl iodide (2.03 g). After stirring for 2 hr at ambient temperature, solution was added to ice-water and product was isolated by partitioning with ethyl acetate. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel in hexane-ethyl acetate (3:1) afforded the title compound (0.58 g).
