Reaction Steps

2,4-Dichloro-5-methyl-6a,7,9,10-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazino[3,4-h]pteridin-6(5H)-one (20 mg, 0.069 mmol) and iodomethane (9.82 mg, 0.069 mmol) were stirred in DMSO (2 mL). The mixture was frozen then 2-methylpropan-2-olate (19.94 mg, 0.208 mmol) was added as a solid followed by a layer of DMSO. The mixture was refrozen then allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted twice with EtOAc, the organic layers combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to give 20 mg (95%) of 2,4-dichloro-5,6a-dimethyl-6a,7,9,10-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazino[3,4-h]pteridin-6(5H)-one as a white solid. MS [M+H] Found 303.
