Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(5-{3-[2-(4-chloro-phenylamino)-ethylamino]-propylidene}-5,11-dihydro-10-oxa-1-aza-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-7-yl)-propan-2-ol (0.4 g, 0.87 mmol) in toluene (6 mL) was added triethylamine (0.48 mL, 3.44 mmol) and 2,3-dibromopropionitrile (0.19 mL, 1.72 mmol) and reaction mixture was heated to 110° C. (reflux) and stirred overnight for 18 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and extracted with 1.0N NaOH solution. The aqueous layer was back extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified using a short plug of silica gel using ethyl acetate to give the desired product. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ: 1.05 (6H, s), 2.20-2.70 (8H, 2×m), 3.00 (1H, m), 3.10-3.40 (3H, 2×m), 4.50 (1H, br, s), 5.30 (2H, br, s), 6.20 (1H, t), 6.70-6.90 (3H, 2×d), 7.10-7.35 (4H, m), 7.50 (2H, d), 8.50 (1H, dd). ESI-MS m/z: 515 (M+1), UV retention time: 2.36 min.
