Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7 ml of water and 7 ml of dioxane were added to 0.7 g of 2(2-aminoethoxy)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol to obtain a solution. To the solution was added 0.32 g of potassium carbonate. The resulting mixture was heated to 50° C. Thereto was added 0.35 g of 2-chloropyrimidine. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. Thereto were added 0.32 g of potassium carbonate and 0.35 g of 2-chloropyrimidein. The resulting mixture was further refluxed for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and added to a mixture of 20 ml of ethyl acetate and 20 ml of ice water. The organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with 10 ml of ethyl acetate. The extract was combined with the previously separated organic layer. To the combined organic layer was added 15 ml of water and the resulting mixture was adjusted to pH 1.5 with 6N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was extracted with 10 ml of water. The extract was combined with the previously separated aqueous layer. To the combined aqueous layer was added 50 ml of methylene chloride and the resulting mixture was adjusted to pH 10.5 with potassium carbonate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, and dried over anhydrousmagnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by column chromatography (eluant: chloroform/ethanol=20/1) to obtain an oily product. To the oily product were added 4 ml of ethanol and 0.21 g of maleic acid. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to the reaction mixture was added 2 ml of diethyl ether. The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. The resulting crystals were collected by filtration and dried to obtain 0.53 g of 1-(1-naphthyl)-2-{2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino]ethoxy}ethanol maleate (compound No. 268).
