Sodium hydride → HCID 55300387, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(11.6 g, 48.9 mmol) (3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-butyl)-carbamic acid benzyl ester (Example 72, step 1) was dissolved in THF (250 ml) and sodium hydride (60%, 5.2 g, 108 mmol, 2.2 equiv.) was added in portions. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. 5 ml saturated NaHCO3 solution was added carefully and the mixture was evaporated with isolute to dryness. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography by directly loading the residue onto a silica gel column and eluting with an ethyl acetate:methanol gradient 100:0 to 90:10. The desired 6,6-dimethyl-[1,3]oxazinan-2-one (3.2 g, 51% yield) was obtained as a yellow solid, MS: m/e=130.1 (M+H+).
