Sodium hydride → 6-Methoxy-N-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-6-methoxy-1,2-benzisoxazole (5.5 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (100 ml) was added sodium hydride (1.2 g) under nitrogen. The reaction was stirred one hour at ambient temperature. A solution of 4-(2-chloroethyl)morpholine (5.4 g) in DMF (50 ml) was added to the reaction and heated to 125° C. for one hour. TLC (5% MeOH/DCM) revealed the absence of starting material. The reaction was quenched with water (1 l) and extracted with EtOAc (2 l). The organic layer was washed with water, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography (silica gel) eluting with 3-4% MeOH/DCM afforded the product (4.5 g), m.p. 85°-86° C.
