Triethylamine → (R)-1-[4-(4-Quinoxalin-2-yl-piperazin-1-yl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]-ethyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-1-(4-chloro-pyrimidin-2-yl)-ethyl acetate (prepared according to the method of Preparation Five, 7.3 g, 36.2 mmol) in isopropanol (240 mL) was added triethylamine (10.1 mL, 72.4 mmol) followed by 2-(1-piperazinyl)quinoxaline (10.1 g, 47.1 mmol; J. Med. Chem. 1981, 24, 93). This mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight then concentrated. The residue was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with chloroform (5×). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, evaporated, and purified by flash column chromatography (2% methanol/chloroform) to give 12.4 g (91%) of the title compound of Example 1, Step A as a yellow foam. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 250 MHz) δ 8.61 (s, 1H), 8.27 (d, 1H), 7.91 (dd, 1H), 7.72 (dd, 1H), 7.61 (td, 1H), 7.44 (td, 1H), 6.43 (d, 1H), 5.70 (q, 1H), 3.96-3.84 (c, 8H), 2.18 (s, 3H), 1.61 (d, 3H); MS (Cl/NH3) 379 (MH+).
