Chloromethyl Methyl Ether → HCID 9924028, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-5-fluorobenzonitrile (0.150 g, 0.51 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was treated at rt with sodium hydride (0.061 g, 1.53 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and treated with chloromethyl methylether (0.062 g, 7.7 mmol). Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was quenched with water (25 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified via chromatography (silica gel, 25% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 3-fluoro-5-(1-methoxymethyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-6-yl)-benzonitrile as a white solid (0.11 g, 65%): mp 169-171° C.; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.17 (bs, 1H), 8.03 (dt, 1H, J=10.4, 2.13 Hz), 7.85-7.77 (m, 3H), 7.31 (d, 1H, J=8.49 Hz), 5.33 (s, 2H), 3.35 (s, 3H), 1.7 (s, 6H); MS (APCI) m/z 341 ([M+H]+, 50%); Anal. Calc. For C19H17FN2O3: C, 65.32; H, 5.19; N, 8.02. Found: C, 64.92; H, 4.96; N, 7.73.
