Toluene → 1-[2-(3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-benzopyran-2-yl)ethyl]-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution composed of 20 g of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, 5 g of 3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-2-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-benzopyran and 100 ml of toluene was refluxed for 8 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Low-boiling substances were distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 3.66 g of 1-[2-(3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-benzopyran-2-yl)ethyl]-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine [Compound (35)] having the following physical characteristics.
