Potassium Iodide → methyl 8-(1-((3,5-difluorophenyl)(methyl)amino)ethyl)-2-morpholino-4-oxo-4H-chromene-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium iodide (1.521 g, 9.16 mmol) was added to a suspension of methyl 8-(1-bromoethyl)-2-morpholino-4-oxo-4H-chromene-6-carboxylate (3.3 g, 8.33 mmol, as described in Example 2.00) and 3,5-difluoro-N-methylaniline (3.58 g, 24.99 mmol) in CHCl3 (16 mL) and MeOH (4 mL). The mixture was stirred at RT over the weekend. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness and the resulting dark oil was triturated with diethyl ether to give a solid which was collected by filtration. This solid was suspended in water and pH was adjusted to 6-7 with 2N NaOH. The crude product was filtered and washed with ether, dried and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0 to 10% MeOH in DCM. The solvent was evaporated to dryness to afford methyl 8-(1-((3,5-difluorophenyl)(methyl)amino)ethyl)-2-morpholino-4-oxo-4H-chromene-6-carboxylate (3.1 g, 81%) as a white solid. Mass Spectrum: M+H+ 459.
