Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-amino-6-fluorobenzoic acid (15.34 g, 98.90 mmol) in THF (330 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added ethyl magnesium bromide (650 mL, 650.0 mmol) and allowed to warm to room temperature. After 3 days, the reaction was quenched with chilled ammonium chloride solution (sat.) and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The crude material was taken up in THF (300 mL) and CDI (14.97 g, 92.30 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature and partitioned between ammonium chloride solution (sat.) and ethyl acetate. The organic layer washed with 1N HCl and dried over magnesium sulfate. Trituration with ether gave 4,4-diethyl-5-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one as an off-white solid (9.57 g, 43%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 10.33 (s, 1H), 7.31 (m, 1H), 6.86 (m, 1H), 6.73 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 2.08 (m, 2H), 1.90 (m, 2H), 0.80 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 6H); MS (ESI) m/z 224 ([M+H]+); MS (ESI) m/z 222 ([M−H]−); Anal. calcd for C12H14FNO2: C, 64.56; H, 6.32; N, 6.27. Found: C, 64.64; H, 6.27; N, 6.16.
