Diphenylphosphinic chloride → 3-[2-(4-Geranyloxybenzoylamino)ethylamino]-6-methoxypyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-geranyloxybenzoic acid(3.48 g) was dissolved in chloroform(50 ml) and triethylamine(3.52 ml), and then diphenylphosphinic chloride(2.42 ml) was added thereto while being cooled with ice. After being stirred for 1 hour, the mixture, with 3-(2-aminoethylamino)-6-methoxypyridine(2.12 g) added thereto, was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate aqueous solution and saturated brine successively, dried over sodium sulfate anhydride, and then concentrated under a vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=20:1). The resulting solid was recrystallized from n-hexane/ethyl acetate, thereby yielding 1.39 g of the aimed compound.
