Triethylamine → 9-[3'-(Isopropylaminocarbonyloxymethyl)-anilino]-2,7-dimethoxyacridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-(3'-hydroxymethylanilino)-2,7-dimethoxyacridine, (300 mg, 0.66 mmol), isopropyl isocyanate (1 ml) and triethylamine (2 ml) in methylene chloride (20 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 90 minutes, and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue is chromatographed on a silica gel column using commerical chloroform as the eluent to give the 9-[3'-(isopropylaminocarbonyloxymethyl)-anilino]-2,7-dimethoxyacridine, (246 mg, 84%) as a yellow solid, mp 148°-149° C.
