Reaction Steps

A solution of (R)-4-(5-amino-2-fluoro-phenyl)-5,5-difluoro-4-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,3]oxazin-2-ylamine (intermediate A8.5) (500 mg, 1.9 mmol) and ammonium iodide (308 mg, 2.1 mmol) in acetic acid (9.6 ml) was treated at room temperature with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (35%, 0.19 ml, 2.1 mmol). After stirring overnight 50% of the starting material was left. Another equivalent of ammonium iodide and hydrogen peroxide was added and stirring continued at room temperature overnight. For the workup, the reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate treated with sodium thiosulphate, then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, then dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated at reduced pressure. In order to eliminate residual acetic acid, the crude product was dissolved in dichloromethane and extracted again with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The crude product was purified by chromatography on an Isolute flash NH2 column using a gradient of heptane/ethyl acetate=100/0 to 0/100 as the eluent. The (R)-4-(5-amino-2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-5,5-difluoro-4-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-[1,3]oxazin-2-ylamine was obtained as a yellow solid (415 mg, 56% of theory). MS (ISP): m/z=386.0 [M+H]+.
