Reaction Steps

A 2.4 g (0.022 mol) sample of methoxyacetyl chloride was added dropwise to a solution of 5.5 g (0.022 mol) 3-(N-2-methylnaphth-1-ylamino)-gamma-butyrolactone and 1.7 g (0.022 mol) pyridine in 100 ml dichloromethane. The reaction mixture was stirred one hour at about 25° C. and then heated under reflux for 6 hours. After cooling overnight, the reaction mixture was washed successively with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed through a silica gel column. Elution with 25% acetone/75% petroleum ether gave 4.3 g of the product, m.p. 42°-46° C.
