Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (S)-(+)-1-phenyl-1,2,9,10-tetrahydro[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-jk]carbazol-7(8H)-one (0.397 g, 1.31 mmol), cupric chloride dihydrate (0.513 g, 3.01 mmol), and acetic acid/water (1:1, 4 mL) is heated at 120° C. for 6 h. After cooling, the mixture is partitioned between dichloromethane, water, and aq. sodium bicarbonate. The organic layers are filtered through sodium sulfate, concentrated, and stored over the weekend in the freezer. The mixture is then stirred at 130-140° C. with lithium carbonate (0.106 g, 1.44 mmol), lithium chloride (0.061 g, 1.44 mmol), and DMF (3 mL). After cooling, the mixture is partitioned between dichloromethane and sat'd aq. ammonium chloride. The organic layers are dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated, and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel gel (60 mL) using ethyl acetate/hexane (10/90) to give 0.184 g (47% for both steps) of (S)-(+)-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydro[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-jk]carbazol-7-ol. [α]D=+98°(MeOH).
