Ethanol → 4-(5-Ethoxymethyl-imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-isochroman-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(5-chloromethyl-imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-isochroman-1-one (0.150 g, 0.516 mmol), prepared as described in Example 18, in anhydrous ethanol (5 mL) is added diisopropylethyl amine (0.100 g, 0.77 mmol) and the mixture is stirred at reflux overnight. The mixture is purified by semi-preparative reverse phase HPLC to give 4-(5-ethoxymethyl-imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-isochroman-1-one as a white solid; MS (ESI) m/z 301.0 (M+H); 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ ppm 1.26 (s, 3 H), 1.29 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 3 H), 1.54 (s, 3 H), 3.62 (br. s, 2 H), 4.70 (br. s, 2 H), 5.59 (s, 1 H), 7.02 (s, 1 H), 7.29 (br. s, 1 H), 7.52 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.63 (td, J=7.8, 1.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.74 (td, J=7.6, 1.3 Hz, 1 H), 8.21 (dd, J=7.8, 1.3 Hz, 1H).
