반응 단계

4.6 g (20 mmol) of 2-methoxy-10H-phenothiazine are dissolved, under an argon atmosphere, in a three-necked flask, containing 140 ml anhydrous ethyl ether. 20 ml (50 mmol) of a solution of nBuLi (2.5 M) in hexane is then added dropwise, at 20° C. The reaction mixture is agitated for 3 hours at 20° C. before the dropwise addition of 6.2 ml (80 mmol) of anhydrous DMF. Agitation is maintained for another 15 hours at 20° C. The whole is then poured into 150 ml ice-cooled water and the product is extracted twice using 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic solution is washed with 100 ml of salt water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The evaporation residue is taken up in diisopropyl ether, filtered and dried to produce a red solid with a yield of 30%. Melting point: 155-160° C.
