Pyrophosphoric acid → N-(6-acetyl-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-benzofuran-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The synthetic procedure of target compounds 158 is illustrated in Scheme 12. The starting 2-amino-4,5-methylenedioxy acetophenone (148) was first reacted with benzo[b]furan-3-carbonyl chloride (154) to give N-(6-Acetyl-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-benzofuran-3-carboxamide (155). Then, the intermediates (155) was subjected to cyclization in dioxane, in the presence of NaOH, to afford 2-(3-Benzo[b]furyl)-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-one (156). Compound 156 was first reacted with tetrabenzylpyrophosphate in THF, in the presence of NaH, to yield dibenzyl 2-(3-benzo[b]furyl)-6,7-methylenedioxyquinolin-4-yl phosphate (157). Compound 157 was then subjected to catalytic hydrogenation in MeOH to give its diphosphoric acid (158).
