Reaction Steps
To a solution of 2-methanesulfinyl-3-methyl-chromen-4-one (0.35 g, 1.78 mmol) in acetonitrile (37 mL), 4-(4-aminomethyl-phenyl)-butan-1-ol (0.47 g, 2.13 mmol) and DMF (18 mL) were added. The reaction stirred in a 50° C. oil bath overnight under N2 atmosphere. The next day, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated to yield an oil. Purification of the oil by flash column chromatography (100% ethyl acetate) afforded the desired product as a white solid (120 mg, 20% yield). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.20 (d, 1H, J=7.9 Hz), 7.53 (t, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.35 (t, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.31 (d, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 7.29 (d, 2H, J=7.9 Hz), 7.21 (d, 2H, J=7.9 Hz), 4.82 (bt, 1H, J=5.9 Hz), 4.66 (d, 2H, J=5.6 Hz), 3.68 (m, 2H), 2.66 (t, 2H, J=7.5 Hz), 1.97 (s, 3H), 1.70 (m, 2H), 1.61 (m, 2H), 1.24 (bt, 1H, J=5.3 Hz); 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ 174.0, 160.3, 152.2, 141.4, 135.5, 130.7, 128.2, 126.9, 125.0, 123.8, 122.3, 115.8, 92.7, 61.5, 44.6, 34.8, 31.8, 27.2, 7.3.
