Vanillic Acid → (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)(spiro[benzo[b]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazine-4,4'-piperidine]-1'-yl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzoic acid (304 mg, 1.81 mmol) was stirred with thionyl chloride (645 mg, 395 μL, 5.42 mmol) in dichloromethane and 2 drops of DMF were added. After stirring for 2.5 h, the excess thionyl chloride and dichloromethane were removed in vacuo. The residue was added to a mixture of spiro[piperidine-4,4′-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzoxazine] (500 mg, 1.81 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (6.5 mL), and triethylamine (760 μL, 5.42 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 18 h at 90° C. before it was cooled to room temperature and was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, filtered and washed with 1N HCl (2×), a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (2×), and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography (0-100% EtOAc/hexane) to give (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)(spiro[benzo[b]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]oxazine-4,4′-piperidine]-1′-yl)methanone (394 mg, 56%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 390.2, found 391.2 (M+1)+; Retention time: 2.56 minutes (4 min run).
