1-Methylpiperazine → HCID 22623958, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Benzyloxy-6-bromo-5-methoxy-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione (0.5 g, from Example Z) was reacted with N-methylpiperazine (30 mL) following the procedure of Example 18 to give 0.5 g of 2-benzyloxy-5-methoxy-6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione. Hydrogenation of 2-benzyloxy-5-methoxy-5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione (0.3 g) at 40 psi in the presence of Pd/C (10%) in DMA (20 mL) afforded 0.2 g of the title compound as the free base. A solution of acetyl chloride (0.03 mL) in ethanol (1mL) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione (0.12 g, 0.4 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL). The solution was stirred for 30 minutes, and the precipitate was filtered, washed with ether, and dried to give 0.13 g of the title compound as the HCl salt, mp 296-300° C.;
