Reaction Steps

To a round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was added 2-chloro-5-(cyclopropylmethyl)-6a,7,9,10-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazino[3,4-h]pteridin-6(5H)-one (745 mg, 2.53 mmol), DMSO (10 ml), iodomethane (0.189 ml, 3.03 mmol). The suspension was cooled to 0° C. and sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (292 mg, 3.03 mmol) was added. The reaction was removed from the ice-bath and stirred at 20° C. for 16 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, extracted with ethyl acetate 3 times and the organic layer washed with saturated NaCl. The organic layer was collected, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to furnish a light-brown solid. The solid was washed with a small amount of ethanol followed by diethyl ether to afford 2-chloro-5-(cyclopropylmethyl)-6a-methyl-6a,7,9,10-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazino[3,4-h]pteridin-6(5H)-one (641 mg, 2.228 mmol, 82% yield) as white solid. MS [M+H] found 309.
