Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (195 mg, 1.02 mmol) in thionyl chloride (5 mL) was heated at 50° C. for 20 min and then to reflux for 10 min. The mixture was allowed to cool after which the excess of thionyl chloride was removed in vacuo, and the residue was evaporated with two portions of toluene. The acid chloride was then dissolved in anhydrous methylene chloride (5 mL) and added to an ice-cooled solution of (S)-3-amino-5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran (230 mg, 0.930 mmol) and triethylamine (194 μL, 1.39 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (20 mL) with stirring. The reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and was washed with a saturated NaHCO3 solution. After drying (MgSO4) and evaporation of the solvent in vacuo, a crude product was obtained which was purified by column chromatography on silica (eluent: chloroform/ethanol; 92:8+0.5% conc. NH3). This procedure gave 214 mg (55% yield) of the title compound as a white solid: mp 212-214° C.; [α]22D −73° (c 1.0, chloroform); EIMS (70 eV) m/z (relative intensity) 419 (100, M+).
