Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-(trifluoromethoxy)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylate (775 mg, 2.66 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (4 mL) containing K2CO3 (1103 mg, 7.98 mmol), sodium iodide (80 mg, 0.53 mmol). 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-methoxy-benzene (1070 mg, 776 μL, 5.32 mmol) was added slowly to the above reaction mixture. The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 6 h. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was treated with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed over a silica gel column (0-25% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide 4-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-(trifluoromethoxy)-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazine-2-carboxylic acid (639 mg, 1.553 mmol, 58.37%) as a white solid. LC/MS m/z 412.4 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400.0 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.18 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 6.88 (d, J=8.6, 2H), 6.86 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 6.54 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 5.09 (t, J=3.3 Hz, 1H), 4.45 (d, J=15.4 Hz, 1H), 4.29 (d, J=15.3 Hz, 1H), 4.16-4.05 (m, 2H), 3.73 (s, 3H), 3.52-3.42 (m, 2H), 1.13 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).
