Sodium hydride → 8-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydropyrido[3,2-b][1,4]oxazepin-4(5H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(2-amino-5-bromo-pyridin-3-yloxy)-2,2-dimethylpropionic acid methyl ester (880 mg, 2.90 mmol) in DMSO (40 mL) was added NaH (60% in oil, 139 mg, 3.48 mmol), and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with water (100 mL), and further stirred for 15 min. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title compound (600 mg, 76%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.34 (br s, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 4.01 (s, 2H), 1.32 (s, 6H); ESI MS m/e 271 (M+H)+.
