Thionyl Chloride → HCID 85559966, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

9-oxo-9H-xanthene-3-carboxylic acid (9 g, 37.4 mmol) was added to thionyl chloride (28 mL, 334 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 5 h. At that time, the thionyl chloride was removed under vacuum and the remaining residue was diluted with toluene and concentrated to dryness to give 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-3-carbonyl chloride. A portion of 9-oxo-9H-xanthene-3-carbonyl chloride (0.25 g, 0.96 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (7 mL). Diisopropylethylamine (335 μL, 1.9 mmol) was then added to the mixture with the subsequent addition of pyrrolidine (113 μL, 1.3 mmol). After stirring 2 h, the solvent was concentrated and the residue was purified by reverse phase preparative HPLC, using a gradient of acetonitrile (10%- 90%) in water with trifluoroacetic acid (0.1%) to afford the 3-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-xanthen-9-one. MS m/z (MH+) 294.1.
