Ethanethiol → 11-{4-[2-(Piperidin-1-yl)ethoxy]phenyl}-11H-benzo[a]fluorene-3,9-diol

Participants

Reaction Steps

One g of the compound of Example 11 was added to 1.9 g of aluminum chloride and 1.3 g of ethanethiol in 25 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane and the reaction was carried out and the product isolated as described in Example 14. One g of impure oily product was obtained, which was purified by Waters Prep 500 liquid chromatography over normal phase silica gel, using a gradient solvent which began with 2% methanol in chloroform and progressed to 30% methanol in chloroform. The product-containing fractions were evaporated to dryness under vacuum to obtain 0.7 g of the desired product as a tan foam.
