Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 115 mg of mitomycin A (0.33 mmol) in 4 ml of anydrous methanol was added with stirring 80 mg of phenylethylamine (0.66 mmol) in 2 ml of anhydrous methanol. After 18 hours, the solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 15 ml of ethyl acetate, and then washed with five 15 ml portions of pH 4 buffer solution. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was chromatographed using silica gel as adsorbent and ethyl acetate as solvent. Recrystallization of the product from ethyl acetate-ether gave 85 mg (58.7% yield) of purple solid having a melting point of 94°-96° C. and providing the following analysis:
