Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared by General Method 7 (EXAMPLE 5) from (±)-3-ethyl-3,4-dihydro-7-nitro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine (200 mg, 0.96 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoroacetaldehyde monohydrate (1.12 g, 9.6 mmol) and NaBH3CN (292 mg, 4.6 mmol) to afford 100 mg (36%) of 3-ethyl-3,4-dihydro-7-nitro-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazine, a yellow solid.
