Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid (185 mg, 1.01 mmol) in thionyl chloride (5 mL) was heated at 55° C. for 15 min. The excess of thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo, and the residue was evaporated with two portions of toluene. The acid chloride was then dissolved in anhydrous methylene chloride (5 mL) and added to an ice-cooled solution of (S)-3-amino-5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran (228 mg, 0.920 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (20 mL) with stirring. The precipitated product was dissolved by the addition of triethylamine (193 μL, 1.38 mmol) to give a clear light yellow solution. The ice-bath was removed, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was washed with a saturated NaHCO3 solution, dried (MgSO4), and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica (eluent: chloroform/ethanol; 92:8+0.5% conc. NH3) affording 268 mg (71% yield) of the title compound as an oil: [α]21D−91° (c 1.0, chloroform); EIMS (70 eV) m/z (relative intensity) 411 (4, M+). The base (238 mg, 0.578 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous diethyl ether (10 mL) under nitrogen and was cooled on an ice-bath. A solution of HCl in diethyl ether (3 M, 0.5 mL), diluted with diethyl ether (5 mL), was added dropwise with stirring. The HCl salt was filtered, washed with diethyl ether, and dried in vacuo affording 187 mg (69% yield) of the product as a white powder: mp sinters >44° C.
