Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7 g of (E)-6-(4-amino-1,3-dihydro-6-ethyl-7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoic acid and toluene (25 ml) are warmed gently to form a solution. A slight excess of 2-morpholinoethanol (3 g) and toluene (25 ml) are added. The reaction mixture is stirred for half an hour and then heated to reflux at an initial pot temperature of 117° C. (which increases a few degrees during reflux) under a Dean-Stark trap for 80 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled, washed with water (2×15 ml), 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (2×15 ml) and finally with water (15 ml). The toluene layer is stripped to a volume of about 20 ml in vacuo, n-hexane (30 ml) is added and the resulting slurry is aged at room temperature for 2 hours. The product is filtered, washed with n-hexane (ca. 10 ml) and dried in vacuo at 60° C. to yield 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyl (E)-6 -(4-amino-1,3-dihydro-6-ethyl-7-methyl-3-oxoisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoate.
