Reaction Steps

2-Benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethylene-malononitrile (79 mg, 0.4 mmol), benzophenone (48 mg, 0.4 mmol), ammonium acetate (78 mg, 1.2 mmol), and toluene (4 ml) were placed in a reaction vial and shaken overnight at 118° C. Upon cooling and filtration, the solution was evaporated in a vacuum zentrifuge (45° C.) and the residue was purified by automated, preparative HPLC (YMC CombiPrep C18 column 50×20 mm, solvent gradient 5-95% CH3CN in 0.1% TFA(aq) over 6.0 min, λ=230 nm, flow rate 40 ml/min). The obtained solid (28 mg) was dissolved in THF (1 ml) and added, under an atmosphere of argon, to a cooled (0° C.) suspension of 100 mg of lithium aluminium hydride in 1 ml THF in a reaction vial. The reaction mixture was shaken first for 2 h at r.t. and subsequently for 4 h at 40° C. Upon cooling, water was added carefully and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in a vacuum zentrifuge (45° C.). Purification of the re-dissolved (DMF, 1 ml) residue by automated, preparative HPLC (YMC CombiPrep C18 column 50×20 mm, solvent gradient 5-95% CH3CN in 0.1% TFA(aq) over 6.0 min, λ=230 nm, flow rate 40 ml/min) gave 11 mg (7%) of the title compound, MS: m/e=320.1 (M+H+), as a solid.
