Dimethylformamide → 2'-Propoxy-7'-(5-pyrimidinyl)spiro[1,3-oxazole-4,9'-xanthen]-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A glass vial was charged with 2′-hydroxy-7′-(5-pyrimidinyl)spiro[1,3-oxazole-4,9′-xanthen]-2-amine (prepared as described in Example 2; 53.68 mg, 155 μmol), cesium carbonate (75.7 mg, 232 μmol), DMF (0.62 mL), and 1-iodopropane (16.6 μl, 170 μmol). The mixture was stirred at RT for 18 h, then poured into water (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×7 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 0-80% of a 90:10:1 DCM/MeOH/NH4OH solution in DCM) to give 2′-(1-propyloxy)-7′-(5-pyrimidinyl)spiro[1,3-oxazole-4,9′-xanthen]-2-amine as a white solid. MS m/z=389.2 [M+H]+. Calc'd for C22H21N4O3: 389.2.
