Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of phenyl acridine-9-carboxylate (100 mg) and t-butyl iodoacetate is stirred and heated at 110° C. for five hours. The resulting solution is poured into diethyl ether (25 ml) and the resulting precipitate isolated by filtration. Part of this precipitate (10 mg) is stirred with 33% hydrobromic acid in acetic acid (1 ml), and heated at 50° C. for two hours. The reaction mixture is poured into water, and the resulting precipitate (ca. 6 mg) isolated. MS: 358, 314, 300, 237, 220, 206.
