Reaction Steps

(S)-7-[3-[[(2,3-Dihydro-7-hydroxy-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl)methyl]amino]propoxy]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one hydrochloride (0.89 g, 2.13 mmole), diisopropylethylamine (0.80 ml, 4.59 mmole) and iodoethane (0.24 ml, 3.0 mmole) were combined in DMF and heated at 60° C. for 15 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solvent was then removed in vacuum and replaced with 75 ml ofdichloromethane. The mixture was washed with an equal volume of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuum. The residue (1.82 g) was column chromatographed on 75 g of silica gel using first 0.5% methanol/dichloromethane and then 2% methanol/dichloromethane as eluant. The product-containing fractions were concentrated in vacuum and the free base redissolved in methanol. 2.8 ml of 4N isopropanolic HCl was added, the mixture was brought to a boil on a hot plate and the solvent gradually replaced with isopropanol. Upon cooling, 0.66 g of the title compound precipitated as a yellow solid, monohydrochloride, quarter hydrate, m.p. 204°-207° C.
