Ethylenediamine → trans-4-(2-Aminoethylamino)-6-cyano-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-cyano-3,4-epoxy-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-benzopyran (1.2 g, 5.97 mmol) (prepared according to Evans et al., J. Med. Chem., 1983, 26, 1582 and J. Med. Chem., 1986, 29, 2194) in ethanol (7.0 mL), ethylenediamine (2.4 mL, 35.8 mmol) was added at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 36 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was further dried by use of vacuum pump to yield the title A compound (1.74 g, >100%) as a colorless foam. This material was used for the next reaction without any purification.
