Sodium Cyanide → HCID 19735104, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cuprous cyanide (1.1 g) was added to a solution of Compound 46 (2.0 g) in dimethylformamide (5 ml) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 23 hours. The reaction mixture was air-cooled. The mixture was then added to a solution of sodium cyanide (2.2 g) in water (6.5 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, successively washed with aqueous 5% sodium cyanide solution and saturated saline solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off. The resulting crude product was washed with ether/isopropyl ether to obtain 6-cyano-2,2,7-trimethyl-4-(2-pyridyl)-2H-1,3-benzoxazine (0.35 g) (Compound 64).
