Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-Methoxy-2-(methylamino)-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (1.05 g, 5.09 mmol) and methylamine (2.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran; 12.7 ml, 25.5 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (2 ml) was heated in sealed tube for 15 h. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate.
