Participants

Reaction Steps

E4 (365 mg, 0.850 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 mL), (2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methanamine (700 μL, 4.66 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred for 15 h at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, extracted with water/EtOAc and washed twice with water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography from toluene:EtOAc 100:0 to 20:80 which gave the title compound (115 mg, 32%). MS (ES) C21H32N2O7 requires: 424. found: 425.2 [M+H]+.
