Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-2-[3-chloro-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-8-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (i.e. the benzoxazinone product of Example 3, Step E) (6.32 g, 15.47 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added methylamine (2.0 M solution in THF, 38 mL, 77.38 mmol), and the reaction mixture was heated to 60° C., stirred for 1 hour and then cooled to room temperature. The tetrahydrofuran solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residual solid was purified by chromatography on silica gel to afford the title compound, a compound of the present invention, as a white solid (4.57 g) melting at 225-226° C.
