Potassium Carbonate → 6-fluoro-3-{2-[4-(4-chloro-3-methoxy-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-3H-benzooxazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 4 mL vial was added 2-chloro-1-[4-(4-chloro-3-methoxy-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethanone (1) (59 mg, 0.20 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 6-fluoro-3H-benzooxazol-2-one (30 mg, 0.20 mmol, 1.00 equiv), K2CO3 (110 mg, 0.80 mmol, 4.0 equiv) and 800 μL of NMP. A stir bar was placed in the vial and the vial was then capped. The resultant mixture stirred at 60° C. overnight. The crude product was purified by reversed phase HPLC (acetonitrile —H2O with 0.1% TFA as the eluent) to yield 6-fluoro-3-{2-[4-(4-chloro-3-methoxy-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-ethyl}-3H-benzooxazol-2-one (18): HPLC retention time, 2.35 minutes (Agilent Zorbax SB-C18, 2.1×50 mm, 5μ, 35° C.) using 1 ml/min flow rate, a 2.5 minute gradient of 20% to 100% B with a 1.1 minute wash at 100% B (A=0.1% formic acid/5% acetonitrile/94.9% water, B=0.1% formic acid/5% water/94.9% acetonitrile); MS (ES) M+H expected, 419.8, found, 419.9.
