Participants

Reaction Steps

(E)-4-Hydroxy-1-[4-(2-methyl-4-quinolyl)piperazin-1-yl]pent-2-en-1-one (32.5 mg, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane (200 μl) and added to a solution of (diethylamino)sulphur trifluoride (DAST; 19 μl, 0.12 mmol) in 200 μl dichloromethane. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, additional DAST was added (10 μl, 0.063 mmol) and stirring was continued for additional 30 minutes. Solid sodium carbonate (25 mg) was added, the mixture was filtered, the filtrate evaporated to dryness and the residue purified by preparative HPLC (gradient of water containing 0.1% NH3 and acetonitrile) to yield 4 mg (0.012 mmol, 12%).
