Reaction Steps

To a flask charged with 7-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butyn-1-yl)-3-bromo-spiro[chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine-5,4′-[1,3]oxazol]-2′-amine (340 mg, 0.821 mmol) was added methanol (9962 μL, 246 mmol) and methane sulfonic acid (533 μL, 8.21 mmol). The flask was sealed and heated at 60° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate (100 mL) and poured into a separatory funnel containing ethyl acetate (50 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide a tan solid that was purified by silica gel chromatography (Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (40 g), 0-10% methanol in methylenechloride with 0.1% ammonium hydroxide) to provide 7-(3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butyn-1-yl)-3-bromo-spiro[chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine-5,4′-[1,3]oxazol]-2′-amine (306 mg, 0.714 mmol, 87% yield) as a tan solid. MS m/z=428.0 [M+H]+. Calc'd for C20H19BrN3O3: 428.1.
