Sodium ethoxide → {3-[5-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-benzyl}-dimethylamine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred ethanolic suspension of 4-methoxybenzamidine hydrochloride salt (280 mg, 1.5 mmol, 1.5 eq.) was added over 3 minutes 1.2N NaOEt in ethanol (1.7 ml, 2 eq.) and stirring was continued for 30 min. at r.t. 3-Dimethylaminomethyl-benzoic acid hydrazide (193 mg, 1 mmol) in ethanol was then added at 20° C. and the mixture heated at reflux for 24 hrs. Upon cooling the product mixture was filtered, the solvent was evaporated and the residue subjected to preparative reversed phase-HPLC purification using a YMC ODS-AQ column (20×50 mm) and a (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) water-acetonitrile gradient (25 ml/min.). The pure fractions were concentrated and the product obtained was converted to the hydrochloride salt by addition of excess 2N HCl/ether solution. Solvent evaporation and high vacuum drying afforded the title compound (86 mg, 0.25 mmol, 25% yield) as a white foam. MS: m/e=309.4 (M+H+).
