Potassium Carbonate → HCID 19878324, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Seven grams of the product of Example 1 was combined with 5.7 g of diethyl-(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride and 12.1 g of potassium carbonate in 75 ml of methyl ethyl ketone, and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 31/2 hours. The mixture was then poured into ice water, extracted twice with 300 ml portions of ethyl acetate, and the organic extract was washed with brine, dried, and evaporated under vacuum to a tan liquid. The impure product was purified by chromatography over a silica gel column, eluting with a gradient solvent beginning with 200 ml of toluene, then proceeding in 200 ml increments to 100% ethyl acetate, and finally eluting with 500 ml of 1:9 methanol:ethyl acetate. The product-containing fractions were evaporated under vacuum to obtain 3.85 g of the desired product, m.p. 109°-115° C.
