Formamide → HCID 10075956, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Formamide (24 mL, 0.69 mmol), phosphorus pentasulfide (54 mg, 0.123 mmol) and 4 mL of dioxane were refluxed for 30 min. Methyl 7-[3-[4-(2-chloro-1-oxoethyl)-3-methoxy-2-propylphenoxy]propoxy]-3,4-dihydro-8-propyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-carboxylate (30 mg, 0.056 mmol) in 0.5 mL dioxane was added along with 50 mg magnesium carbonate, and the mixture was refluxed for 18 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into ethyl ether/0.5 N sodium hydroxide, and the ether layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. Flash chromatography of the concentrate using 10:1 hexane/ethyl acetate as eluant provided the product (30 mg, 0.055 mmol, 99% yield). High resolution mass spectrum, m/e 539.2335 (calculated for C30H37SO6N, 539.2341).
