Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-nitro-2,2-dimethyl-3-aminomethyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran (0.53 g, 1.53 mmol) and triethylamine (0.25 ml, 1.80 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml) at room temperature was added methyl chloroformate (0.14 ml, 1.80 mmol). The solution was stirred for 2 hours and then water added. The organic layer was separated, dried and evaporated to give a crude product, which was crystallized from ether. The crystalline material was then purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with acetone/dichloromethane (20/80) to give 0.33 g of 6-nitro-2,2-dimethyl-3-(methoxycarbonylamino)methyl-4-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran, m.p. 199° C.
