Source of material

Piperidin-2-ylmethanamine (1.1 g, 10 mmol), 2,3-dichloro-6-methoxyquinoxaline (2.3 g, 10 mmol) were added into a round bottom flask. K2CO3 (2.7 g, 20 mmol) was added after the solid was dissolved in 20 ml DMF. The mixture was stirred at 110 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 6 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was slowly poured into 200 ml purified water and filtered. The filter cake was washed with purified water (50 ml*3) and desiccated at 80 °C for 5 h, then acquired the yellow solid product (yield 61.1%). Crystals were grown by slowly crystallization from methanol. The colorless crystals were obtained by filtration and desiccation.

Experimental details

Single crystal X-ray data was collected on a SuperNova four-circle diffractometer at 149.99 K [1]. Using Olex2, the structure was solved with SHELXT program and refined with the SHELXL refinement package [2, 3]. The crystal structure of title compound was visualized using Ortep3 software [4]. All hydrogen atoms were placed in their geometrically idealized positions.

Comment

Tetrazanbigen (TNBG) is an originally designed and synthesized leading compound bearing the quinoxaline core and showing anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo [5]. Based on SAR, our research team has reported a series of derivatives with improved physical properties and biological effect comparing to TNBG [6], [7], [8]. TNBG was synthesized from (1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl)methanamine [9] and 2,3-dichloro-6-methoxyquinoxaline [10] and its derivatives were substituted with alkaline side chains leaving basic structure of TNBG unchanged. In this study, in order to diminish molecular weight and structural rigidity, an attempt was carried out to modify the main scaffold of TNBG by deducting a benzene ring [11]. Hence, the title compound was synthesized possessing superior water solubility and equivalent anticancer activity to reported TNBG derivatives.

In conclusion, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound which is a pivotal antitumor intermediate for further derivation. There is one molecule in the asymmetric unit of the title structure (see the Figure). All bond lengths and angles are in the expected ranges [12, 13].
