Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of sodium hydride (0.16 g; 50% dispersion in oil) in dimethylformamide (20 ml) was cooled to 0° C. To this was added dropwise 3-(piperidinomethyl)phenol (0.6 g) in dimethylformamide (10 ml) and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 150 minutes. 1-Amino-2-(3-chloropropylamino)cyclobut-1-ene-3,4-dione (0.6 g) in dimethylformamide (30 ml) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture stirred for 20 hours. On examination by thin layer chromatography it was found that the reaction had not gone to completion. Sodium hydride (0.16 g; 50% dispersion in oil) was added, the reaction mixture stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, then stirred for 3 hours at 65° C. and cooled. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was treated with dilute sodium hydroxide and extracted into chloroform/methanol (9:1). The chloroform/methanol extracts were combined, dried oer magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound; δppm 1.45 (6H, m), 2.00 (2H, m), 2.40 (4H, m), 3.43 (2H, s), 3.65 (2H, m), 4.03 (2H, t), 6.85 (3H, m), 7.23 (1H, t), 7.50 (broad m) (spectrum consistent with an authentic sample).
