According to the '614 patent, the preparation of 5-(1-pipearzinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide is carried out in four steps starting from ethyl 5-aminobenzofuran-2-carboxylate. According to first step, ethyl 5-(1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxylate is prepared by reacting ethyl 5-aminobenzofuran-2-carboxylate with N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amine in dichloromethane to produce a reaction mass, followed by customary work-up using a solvent system (isopropanol/water 95:5). According to second step, the ethyl 5-(1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxylate is subjected to BOC protection by reacting with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in tetrahydrofuran to produce ethyl 5-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-caboxylate. In third step, the ethyl 5-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-caboxylate is reacted with formamide in the presence of sodium alkoxide in N-methylpyrrolidone to produce 5-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide. In fourth step, the 5-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide is then deprotected with methanolic HCl to produce the 5-(1-pipearzinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide.
