Sodium Hydroxide → N,N-Dimethyl-2-(6-nitro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-4(3H)-yl)ethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 6-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazine (500 mg, 2.55 mmol), 2-chloro-N,N-dimethylethanamine hydrochloride (734 mg, 5.10 mmol), and tetrabutylammonium bromide (41.1 mg, 0.127 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was added 50% aqueous NaOH (5 mL). The reaction vessel was then sealed, and the mixture was stirred vigorously overnight at room temperature. The mixture was then diluted with water and extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organics were dried, filtered, concentrated, and then chromatographed in 1:4:5 (2M NH3 in methanol):ethyl acetate:dichloromethane, giving the desired product (80 mg, 11.74%) and significant amounts of starting material. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.44 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.36 (dd, J=8.4, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 3.69-3.64 (m, 2H), 3.48 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 3.14-3.09 (m, 2H), 2.45 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.22 (s, 6H); ESI-MS (m/z, %): 268 (MH+, 100).
