Water → 2,3-Dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]oxazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]-oxazin-2-one (510 mg, 3.397 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) under nitrogen atmosphere and then cooled to 0□. 1.0M Lithium aluminum hydride dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (6.8 ml, 6.794 mmol) was added thereto dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, and the temperature was raised to room temperature, and then the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to 0□ again, and then water (0.25 ml), 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.5 ml) and water (0.8 ml) were added thereto dropwise in this order, and the resulting solution was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The produced solid was filtered and washed with excessive ethyl acetate, and then the filtrate was washed with water and saturated saline solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain white solid (300 mg, 65%).
