Procedure

Hill and Ramage reported at J. Chem. Soc., 3709 (1964) a convenient synthesis of 7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazine from 2-amino-5-methoxyphenol 9a. Compound 9a reacted with chloroacetyl chloride in acetone to give 2-chloroacetamido-5-methoxy phenol 10a. An intramolecular cyclization of 10a with aqueous sodium hydroxide produced 7-methoxy-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine 11a, which upon reduction with lithium aluminum hydride in THF resulted in the formation of 7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine 12a. ##STR4##
