Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Choroethyl chloroformate (4.16 g, 29.1 mmol) was added dropwise under 2 h to a stirred solution of the product obtained in step 2 above (6.15 g, 19.4 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (75 mL) at 0° C. After being stirred at room temperature for 15 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and methanol was added. The mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in CHCl3 and passed through a short (4 cm) plug of silica gel using CHCl3/MeOH (8:2) as eluent. Solvents were evaporated off and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (12×5 cm) using CHCl3/MeOH/Et3N (95:5:0.2) as eluent. This provided 1.9 g (43%) of the title compound as an oil. MS m/z 226/228 (M)+(35Cl/ 37Cl-isotope pattern). HRMS m/z calcd for C10H15ClN4(M)+ 226.0985, found 226.0986.
