Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methyl-6-nitro-2,10-dihydro-9-oxa-1,2,4a-triaza-phenanthren-3-one (10 g, 38.2 mmol) and ammonium chloride (20.5 g, 382.0 mmol) in MeOH (200 mL) was added zinc powder (24.8 g, 382.0 mol) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 24 h at 25° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was washed with methanol (5×30 mL). The filtrate was combined and concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 10% MeOH in DCM) to give 6-amino-4-methyl-2,10-dihydro-9-oxa-1,2,4a-triaza-phenanthren-3-one (6.8 g, 77%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ 10.72 (s, 1H), 6.67 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.42 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.15 (q, J=8.4 Hz, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 4.82 (brs, 2H), 4.52 (q, J=6.4 Hz, 1H), 4.43 (d, J=12.8 Hz, 2H), 1.30 (d, =6.4 Hz, 3H).
