6-Fluoro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one → 6-Fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

LiAlH4 (14.7 mmol, 1 M solution in THF) is added to a solution of 6-fluoro-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one (1.23 g, 7.35 mmol) in THF at rt and heated to reflux for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture is quenched with a few drops of water followed by slow addition of ethyl acetate (10 mL). The solid is filtered off, and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to afford 6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]oxazine (1 g). MS: 154 (M+H).
