Reaction Steps

A solution of 41 mg (0.12 mmol) of 1-[10-(6-hydroxyhexyl)-10H-phenothiazin-2-yl]ethanone in 0.16 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide is treated with 158 mg (0.42 mmol) of pyridinium dichromate and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The mixture is diluted with ether and filtered through a pad of celite with the aid of 100 mL of ether. The filtrate is washed successively with 10% sodium bisulfate solution and saturated sodium chloride solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 10 mg (23%) of 2-acetyl-10H-phenothiazine-10-hexanoic acid as a dark residue. The 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) is consistent with the desired product. MS (CI) m/e 323 (M+ +H).
