Potassium Iodide → HCID 19092084, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 250 cm3 ground-necked flask, 8.1 g (0.03 mol) of 4-methyl-6-(4-bromobutyl)2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine and 0.9 g of potassium iodide are dissolved in 120 cm3 of methanol and 30 cm3 of chloroform. A stream of gaseous ammonia is bubbled into the solution to the point of saturation, equivalent to approximately 2.6 g of ammonia, and a reflux condenser is then fitted. The temperature is stabilized at 50° C. with an oil bath and the mixture is left stirring magnetically for 72 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is evaporated on a water bath under vacuum. The residue is ground with distilled water acidified with 5% HCl solution, and then drained. The filtrate is recovered, washed with ethyl acetate and then alkalinized with 10% sodium hydroxide solution. It is extracted with chloroform, leaving the 2 phases agitating for 1/2 hour, and the organic phase is washed with distilled water and then dried over calcium chloride. The organic phase is evaporated on a water bath under vacuum, the residue is then taken up in absolute ethanol, a stream of gaseous HCl is bubbled through and the mixture is then evaporated to dryness on a water bath under vacuum. The product is dried and then recrystallized in absolute ethanol.
