Reaction Steps

A mixture of the product obtained in example 13, step 2 (1.97 g, 9.92 mmol), phenol (2.43 g, 25.8 mmol), CuO (1.0 g, 12.6 mmol), and K2CO3 (1.43 g, 10.3 mmol) in dioxane (2 mL) was stirred for 4.5 h at 165° C. in a sealed pyrex tube. The reaction mixture was diluted with CHCl3 and filtered through a pad of Celite. The pad was washed with several portions of CHCl3/MeOH (95:5). Solvent removal in vacuo furnished a dark brown oil which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (14×5 cm) using CHCl3/MeOH (95:5, followed by 90:10) as eluent. The brown oil (1.66 g) was subjected to repeated column chromatography, first on silica gel (18×4 cm) using CHCl3/MeOH (9:1) as eluent and finally on alumina (4×5 cm) using ether/MeOH (95:5) as eluent. This furnished 1.37 g (54%) of the title compound as a light beige oil. HRMS m/z calcd for C14H16N4O (M)30 256.1324, found 256.1321. Anal. (C14H16N4O) C, H, N.
