Reaction Steps

2-(Bis-methylthiomethylene)-4,5-dihydro-2H-naphthalen 1-one (11.56 g, 46 mmol) and 1-tert-butyloxycarbonylpiperazine (10.3 g, 55 mmol) were refluxed in acetonitrile (300 ml) for 24 h. The mixture was cooled, water (500 ml) added, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 ml). The combined organics were washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4), evaporated in vacuo, and the resulting oil purified by flash chromatography, eluting with dichloromethane then dichloromethane:methanol (97:3 v/v) to give 2-(methylthio[4-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-1-piperazinyl]methylene)-4,5-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (8.75 g, 49%) as a foam; δ (360 MHz, CDCl3) 1.49 (9H, s, tBu), 3.31 (3H, s, MeS), 2.86-2.94 (4H, m, CCH2CH2C), 3.3-3.5 (8H, m, NCH2CH2N), 7.18 (1H, d, J=7.5 Hz, H-5), 7.30 (1H, t, J=7.5 Hz, H-7), 7.37 (1H, dt, J=1.4 and 7.5 Hz, H-6), 8.10 (1H, dd, J=1.4 and 7.5 Hz, H-8).
