Sodium Chloride → 1-methyl-4-[(7-oxo-8-phenyl-7H-thieno[2,3-a]quinolizin-10-yl)carbonyl]piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.93 g of 7-oxo-8-phenyl-7H-thieno[2,3-a]quinolizine-10-carboxylic acid were converted into the acid chloride with 2.65 ml of thionyl chloride as described. This acid chloride was taken up in 80 ml of dioxane, treated with 2.7 ml of N-methylpiperazine, and the mixture was then stirred at room temperature until the reaction was completed and poured into 200 ml of water. The aqueous phase was saturated with sodium chloride and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. By recrystallization from toluene there was obtained 1-methyl-4-[(7-oxo-8-phenyl-7H-thieno[2,3-a]quinolizin-10-yl)carbonyl]piperazine as yellow crystals of m.p. 233°-234° (dec.).
