(S)-2-Phenethylpiperazine → 2-methyl-10-(3-(S)-phenethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-4H-3-thia-4,9-diazabenzo[f]azulene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat a suspension of 2-methyl-4H-3-thia4,9-diaza-benzo[f]-azulen-10-ylamine hydrochloride (466 mg, 1.75 mmol) and 2-(S)-phenethyl-piperazine (1.0 g, 5.3 mmol) in DMSO (2.5 mL) and toluene (10 mL) at reflux for 48 hours. Evaporate the toluene under vacuo and pour the resulting solution into water (10 mL). Purify the resulting brown solid by flash chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (95:5) to give 2-methyl-10-(3-(S)-phenethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-4H-3-thia-4,9-diaza-benzo[f]azulene as a yellow solid (478 mg, 65%): mp 75–84° C.; 1H NMR(CDCl3): δ1.76 (m, 2H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 2.60 (dd, 1H), 2.71 (m, 2H), 2.80 (m, 1H), 2.92 (m, 2H), 3.04 (m, 1H), 3.96 (m, 1H), 4.12 (m, 1H), 4.91 (s, 1H), 6.29 (s, 1H), 6.60 (d, 1H), 6.89 (t, 1H), 6.96 (t, 1H), 7.03 (d, 1H), 7.15–7.30 (m, 5H); MS (APCI) m/z (rel intensity) 403 (100).
