Reaction Steps

Treatment of valinol in basic ethanol with chloroacetyl chloride using the procedure of Surry, et. al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1955) 77, 633, gives 5-(2-propyl)-3-morpholinone. Deprotonation of the latter with NaH in DMF solution and reaction with methyl iodide gives the title compound.
