Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-6a,7,9,10-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazino[3,4-h]pteridin-6(5H)-one (363 mg, 1.509 mmol) in DMF (6 ml) at 0° C. was added NaH (72.4 mg, 1.81 mmol). After 15 minutes of stirring at 0° C., a solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (525 mg, 2.26 mmol) in DMF (1 ml) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were washed with water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude oil. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, 19:1 to 1:1) to afford 2-chloro-5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-6a,7,9,10-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazino[3,4-h]pteridin-6(5H)-one (373 mg, 1.16 mmol, 77% yield) as a yellow solid. MS [M+H] found 323.
