Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Iron powder (1.05 g) was suspended in 5% aqueous acetic acid (2.0 ml) and heated to 80° C. To the suspension, a solution of 7-fluoro-6-nitro-4-(2-propynyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (0.47 g) in acetic acid (1.9 ml) and ethyl acetate (1.9 ml) was dropwise added, and the resultant mixture was heated under reflux at 60° to 80° C. for 3 hours. After being allowed to cool, water and ethyl acetate were added to the mixture. The residue was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried and concentrated to give 6-amino-7-fluoro-4-(2-propynyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (0.31 g). m.p., 183°-185° C.
