Reaction Steps

To a solution containing 3.77 g (27.7 mmoles) of benzofuroxan in 8.44 g (55.4 mmoles) of DBU was added portionwise with cooling 2.33 g (55.5 mmoles) of cyanamide. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 days and then diluted with 26 ml of acetone and treated with 4.16 g (69.3 mmoles) of acetic acid. After stirring at room temperature overnight the mixture was further diluted with 30.2 ml of acetone and stirred at room temperature an additional 2.5 hours. The resulting precipitate was collected and washed with 50 ml of acetone and 15 ml of water and then dried under vacuum overnight to give 2.09 g of tirapazamine.
