Efficient and Practical Synthesis of a Novel Lipophilic Phenothiazine Derivative with an α-Tocopherol Isoprenoid Side Chain
摘要
Abstract
A method was developed for the synthesis of a new amide derivative of phenothiazine containing a (4RS,8RS)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecane chain identical to the phytyl isoprenoid chain of racemic α-tocopherol. The phenothiazine analogue of alpha-tocopherol was obtained by coupling of 2-aminophenothiazine with (4RS,8RS)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecanoic acid. The main features of its synthesis were the Bayer–Villiger oxidation of phytone under the action of a household oxidant based on sodium percarbonate “O2Clean” and the environmentally friendly aerobic oxidation protocol of (4RS,8RS)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecanole with oxygen using the iron-containing catalyst Fe(NO3)3·9H2O–TEMPO–KCl.
