Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-6-yl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile (1 eq, 71 mg, 0.27 mmol) in dimethylformamide (0.5 mL) was added potassium carbonate (5 eq, 0.18 g, 0.1.35 mmol). After 1 min, iodomethane (3 eq, 0.05 mL, 0.81 mmol) was added and the suspension was stirred for 2 hours, poured into water (5 mL) and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×5 mL). The layers were then separated, the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL) and the combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 30% ethyl acetate/hexane to give 5-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-6-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile (30 mg, 41%) as a white solid; MS (ES) m/z 280 (M−H)−; Anal. Calcd. For C16H15N3O2: C, 68.3; H, 5.37; N, 14.9. Found, C, 68.4; H, 5.51; N, 14.6.
