Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

12.8 g of 2-chlorodioxene (contains 6% of 2,2-dichlorodioxane) are added to a solution of 10.0 g (65.7 mmol) of 3-methyl-4-nitroaniline in 250 ml of acetonitrile, and the mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 66 hours. The reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, 42.8 g (131 mmol) of caesium carbonate are added, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered, the residue is washed well with acetonitrile, and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is recrystallised from a little acetonitrile, giving 12.8 g (83%) of 4-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)morpholin-3-one as yellowish solid. ESI 236. 1H-NMR (d6-DMSO): δ=2.54 (s; 2H), δ=3.82 (t, J=5 Hz; 2H), 4.00 (t, J=5 Hz; 2H), 4.25 (s; 2H), 7.57 (m; 2H), 8.04 (d, J.=8 Hz; 1H).
