Water → (3-(5-Chloro(3-pyridyloxy))-1-methylpropyl)methylamine Hemigalactarate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-(5-chloro(3-pyridyloxy))-1-methylpropyl)-methylamine (0.70 g, 3.27 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) at 70° C. was added galactaric acid (0.343 g, 1.63 mmol). Water (0.5 mL) was added drop-wise while stirring, producing a clear solution. Some white, insoluble solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to 10 mL and was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. After standing 16 h, the precipitate was filtered, washed with ether (10 mL) and vacuum dried at 45° C. for 24 h to give 0.775 g (74.3%) of a light-beige, amorphous powder, mp 155-157° C. The compound exhibits a Ki of 1601 nM. The compound exhibits neurotransmitter release of 30 percent.
