Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-nitro-2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (1.21 g, 3.73 mmol) and p-anisidine (551 mg, 4.47 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 2.5 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into an ice/water mixture and extracted twice with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried (sodium sulfate), and filtered. From the resulting solution crystallized 706 mg (42%) of the title product as a light brown solid. The mother liquor was chromatographed (silica gel, 20% diethyl ether/80% hexanes to 40% diethyl ether/60% hexanes) to give 242 mg (14%) of additional product; mp 210-11° C.
