Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(3-chloropropyl)-7-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazine (0.7 g, 2.57 mmol), dimethylamine (2M solution in THF) (2.57 mL, 5.13 mmol), potassium iodide (0.426 g, 2.57 mmol), and potassium carbonate (1.773 g, 12.83 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (20 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 6 hours in a sealed tube. The reaction was then brought to room temperature and diluted with water (60 mL), and the product was extracted into ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined ethyl acetate layers were washed with brine (20 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was evaporated, and the crude material was purified by column chromatography (1:9 (2 M NH3 in MeOH):CH2Cl2) on silica gel to obtain the title product (0.3 g, 42%) as a thick syrup. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.85-7.80 (m, 2H), 6.85 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 3.77 (t, 2H, J=5.1 Hz), 3.47 (t, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 3.06 (t, 2H, J=5.1 Hz), 2.24 (t, 2H, J=6.6 Hz), 2.14 (s, 6H), 1.75-1.65 (m, 2H); ESI-MS (m/z, %): 282 (MH+, 100).
