Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-ethoxy-3-[4-[2-[4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,3-benzoxazin-3-yl]ethoxy]phenyl]-2-propenoate (4.5 g, 10.5 mmol) obtained in Example 1, in 1,4-dioxane (50 ml) was reduced with hydrogen in the presence of 10% palladium charcoal (450 mg) at 50-60 psi for 12 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the celite bed was washed with 1,4-dioxane. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield the title compound (3.5 g, 78%): mp 78-80° C.
