Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-fluoro-N1-(4-morpholinobutyl)benzene-1,4-diamine (1.07 g, 4.00 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was added trimethylaluminum (14 mL, 28 mmol, 2 M in toluene) slowly at rt. The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 0.5 h, followed by the addition of a solution of methyl 3-acetaminocrotonate (1.30 g, 8.27 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight, then quenched with saturated NH4Cl aqueous solution and extracted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL×3). The combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (PE/EtOAc (V/V)=2:1) to give the title compound as a yellowish solid (0.26 g, 17%). The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data:
