Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 69481017, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl[4-(2-methyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]oxazol-2-ylmethyl)piperazin-1-yl]carbamate prepared in Example 493 (40 mg, 0.11 mmol), 4-trifluoromethoxybenzaldehyde (24 mg, 0.13 mmol), trifluoroacetic acid (0.08 ml) and methylene chloride (1 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was added a saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution for neutralization followed by extraction with methylene chloride. The solution was washed with water and a saturated saline solution, dried over sodium sulfate and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/ethyl acetate=3/1) to afford N-[4-(2-methyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]oxazol-2-ylmethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-N-(4-trifluoromethoxybenzylidene)amine (19 mg, yield 40%) as a white powder.
