In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 1871-57-4 as follows. 1871-57-4

To sodium hydride (60 wt.% in mineral oil, 2.464 g, 61.6 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added 3-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)prop-l-ene (3.5 g, 28.0 mmol) at ~5 C (ice bath) and a solution of tert-butyl(2-hydroxyethyl)carbamate (4.51 g, 28.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 20-30 C for ~2 hrs and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove tetrahydrofuran. The resulting mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered off and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, 80 g, EtO Ac/heptane = 0/100 to 50/50] providing tert-butyl 6-methylene-l ,4-oxazepane-4- carboxylate (4 g) as a colorless oil. NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) delta [ppm]: 1.46 (s, 9 H) 3.33 – 3.62 (m, 2 H) 3.62 – 3.82 (m, 2 H) 4.09 (m, 2 H) 4.16 (m, 2 H) 4.99 (m,2 H).
