Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of [2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-ethyl]-[2-(4-phenyl-piperazin-1-yl)-ethyl]-amine 27a (0.375 g, 1.05 mmol), Et3N (0.267 g, 2.64 mmol) in 25 mL of dry CH2Cl2 under nitrogen at 0° C. was added a solution of propionyl chloride (0.137 g, 1.48 mmol). The temperature was allowed to rise to room temperature, the mixture stirred for 2 h, and then washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (EtOAc/Hex=9/1) to give 28a as a colorless oil: 0.39 g (89% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 1.16 (3H, t, J=7.2, CH3), 2.38 (2H, q, J=7.2, CH2), 2.51 (2H, t, J=7.2 Hz, CH2Ar), 2.62 (4H, t, J=4.8, (CH2)2N), 2.99 (2H, t, J=7.2, CH2—CH2NCO), 3.15-3.20 (4H, m, (CH2)2NHPh, 3.32 (2H, t, J=7.2, CH2—CH2Ar), 3.58 (2H, t, J=7.2, CH2NCO), 6.83-6.93 (3H, m, ArH), 7.23-7.28 (2H, m, ArH), 7.34 (1H, d, J=8.0, ArH), 7.38 (1H, d, J=8.8, ArH, 8.15 (1H, d, J=8.8, ArH), 8.18 (1H, d, J=8.4, ArH).
