Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of DMF (30 mL) was added POCl3 (10.65 mL, 116 mmol) over 30 minutes at 0° C. The mixture was then stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and added 4 (11.75 g, 33.2 mmol) in DMF (120 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for six days and the poured into ice-water. The product mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and the organic layer washed with water, aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford 13.58 g of 4-(dibenzylamino)-6-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde (5) which was used in next step without further purification.
