Neopentyl alcohol → (S)-7-bromo-3-methoxy-2',6'-dihydrospiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyridine-5,3'-[1,4]oxazin]-5'-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A microwave vial was charged with (S)-7-bromo-3-chloro-2′,6′-dihydrospiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyridine-5,3′-[1,4]oxazin]-5′-amine (1.2557 g, 3.30 mmol), 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol (0.914 g, 10.37 mmol), 18-crown-6 (0.087 g, 0.330 mmol), and potassium hydroxide (0.925 g, 16.50 mmol) (freshly ground). The vial was flushed with Ar (g), then dioxane (6.60 mL) was added. The vial was sealed and placed in a 120° C. oil bath and stirred for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and a small amount of brine. The aq. mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography (0-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 0.657 g of (S)-7-bromo-3-methoxy-2′,6′-dihydrospiro[chromeno[2,3-c]pyridine-5,3′-[1,4]oxazin]-5′-amine as a yellow solid.
