Chloroacetyl chloride → 2-Chloro-1-[4-[(5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl]piperazin-1-yl]ethan-1-one

Temperature

0 °C

To a solution of 1-[(5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl]piperazine (1.3 g, 5.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 ml) was added triethylamine (782 mg, 7.73 mmol, 1.5 eq) and 2-chloroacetyl chloride (758 mg, 6.71 mmol, 1.3 eq) dropwise with stirring at 0° C. for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of water (80 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 ml). The organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography using 3% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to elute. The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated under vacuum to afford 2-chloro-1-[4-[(5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl)methyl]piperazin-1-yl]ethan-1-one as yellow oil (1.0 g, 59%); (ES, m/z): [M+H]+ 329; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.04-7.12 (m, 2H), 6.69 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.95-5.08 (m, 1H), 4.11 (s, 2H), 3.56-3.73 (m, 5H), 3.23-3.32 (dd, J=9.3 Hz, 15.9 Hz, 1H), 2.91-2.99 (dd, J=7.8 Hz, 15.9 Hz, 1H), 2.77-2.84 (dd, J=7.8 Hz, 13.5 Hz, 1H), 2.48-2.75 (m, 4H).
