Acetone → HCID 12899550, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2 Grams of 5-[2-hydroxy-3-(4-phenylpiperazinyl)propoxy]-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril are mixed with 30 ml of acetone and further 12 ml of acetyl chloride are added followed by heating for 10 hours under refluxing conditions. After cooling the reaction mixture, the product precipitated is collectd by filtration and washed with acetone. The crude crystals thus obtained are dissolved in 80 ml of water and made basic with ammonia-water, then extracted with chloroform, dried and chloroform is removed by distillation. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 0.5 g of 5-[2-acetyloxy-3-(4-phenylpiperazinyl)propoxy]-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril in the form of colorless crystals with a melting point of 159°-161° C.
