Phosphorus oxychloride → HCID 22503253, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(4-Benzyloxybutyl)isoquinoline-2-oxide (2.0 g) and phosphorous oxychloride (5 ml) were reacted at 110° C. for 2 hr. The reaction solution was evaporated, to the resulting residue were added ethyl acetate and aqueous solution of saturated sodium bicarbonate, and the resulting organic layer was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate followed by evaporating the solvent. The resulting 1-chloro-3-(4-benzyloxybutyl)isoquinoline obtained as a yellow oil was reacted with N-ethylpiperazine (5 ml) and potassium carbonate (0.5 g) at 120° C. for 5 hr. The reaction solution was then cooled and then partitioned by adding ethyl acetate and water thereto. The resulting organic layer was washe with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol system) to give 1.32 g of the free compound of the title compound as a pale yellow oil.
