Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (23 L, 0.33 mmol) was added to a solution of (±)-ethyl 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazine-2-carboxylate (Example 3a, 55 mg, 0.27 mmol), DMAP (1.6 mg, 0.013 mmol), and Hunig's base (63 L, 0.36 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL). The solution was stirred at 25° C. for 24 h, then the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (60 mL) and the mixture was extracted with 0.1 M sodium carbonate (7 mL) and half-saturated brine (7 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification of the product by flash column chromatography (40% EtOAc/hexane) afforded the title compound (46 mg, 0.18 mmol). MS m/z: 250 (M+1).
