p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 13935078, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 1, 1.5 g of 1-isopropylergoline-8β-carboxylic acid were esterified with 15 g of cyclohexanol in the presence of 1.5 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid to yield 1-isopropyl-8β-(cyclohexyloxycarbonyl)ergoline. The product, 1.91 g of an oil, was converted to the maleate salt in a 6:1 ether/ethyl acetate solvent mixture. The salt was isolated by evaporation and then recrystallized from ether/methanol; yield=0.93 g of cyclohexyl 1-isopropyl-8β-(cyclohexyloxycarbonyl)ergoline maleate (96.77% pure by HPLC); molecular ion at 380; [α]25D =-40.64°.
