a) General procedure: To a solution of succinic anhydride (1.0g, 10mmol) in DMF (4mL) was added benzyl alcohol (0.94mL, 9.09mmol) and DIEA (1.93mL, 11mmol) at 0°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and was evaporated in Speed-vac. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50mL) and washed with saturated NaCl (10mL×2). The organic solution was extracted with aqueous NaHCOA solution of succinic anhydride (1.0 g, 10 mmol), benzyl alcohol (1.14 g, 11 mmol), and DMAP (54 mg, 0.44 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was refluxed for 18 h. The mixture was bacified with sat. NaHCO3, and washed with AcOEt. The aqueous layer was then acidified, and the precipiated solid was extracted with AcOEt. The solid was recrystalized to afford succinic acid monobenzyl ester as colorless needles, 1.85 g, 88percent. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) d. 2.65–2.73 (m, 4H, CH2CH2), 5.15 (s, 2H, PhCH2), and 7.31–7.38 ppm(s, 5H, aromatic).Method B: Succinic anhydride (5 g, 50.0 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DCM (40 mL). Benzyl alcohol (5.69 mL, 55.0 mmol), triethylamine (7.50 mL, 55.0 mmol), and a catalytic amount of DMAP were added to this solution. The resulting clear solution was stirred at room temperature for 18h, after which the, all the volatiles were removed under vacuum. The crude residue was taken up in diethyl ether (200 mL) and was extracted with 2N NaOH (2 3-Hydroxyflavone-3-hemisuccinate (15) was produced according to the reaction outlined in Figure 3. Reaction of succinic anhydride (11) and benzyl alcohol (12) in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and pyridine in dichloromethane produced the succinic acid monobenzyl esteT (13) as white crystalline flakes in 77percent yield. This protected succinic acid derivative was coupled to 3-hydroxyflavone (1) in the presence of DCC and DMAP, forming flavone-3-hemisuccinate monobenzyi ester(14) as yellow or brown oil that solidified upon standing, with yields of up to 96percent produced.The deprotection of the monobenzyl ester to form the corresponding hemisuccinate using a Pd(OAc)1-(((4-(benzyloxy)-4-oxobutanoyl)oxy)methyl)-1-methyl-4-(2-methyl-10H-benzo[b]thieno[2, 3-e][1, 4]diazepin-4-yl)piperazin-1-ium iodide (Compound 14)Synthesis of 4-(benzyloxy)-4-oxobutanoic acidSuccinic anhydride (7 g, 70.0 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (8.7 mL, 83.9 mmol) were combined in dichloromethane (350 mL) at 0° C. and DMAP (0.85 g, 7.0 mmol) was added portion-wise. The reaction was allowed to gradually warm to 25° C. and stirred for 4 days. The reaction mixture was washed with 1M HCl (3.x.200 mL) then water (300 mL). The organic phases were then extracted with aq saturated NaHCOA mixture of 5.0 g (0.05 mol) of succinic acid anhydride, 5.4 g (0.05 mol) of benzyl alcohol, 16.25 g (0.05 mol) of cesium carbonate, and 50 ml of N, N-dimethylforamide was stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. Succinic anhydride 1 (5.00 g, 49.96 mmol), benzyl alcohol (5.94 g, 54.96 mmol)And 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 61 mg, 0.50 mmol) was added to 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture was heated to 50 ° C and stirred under heating for 5 hours.The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, 100 mL of ethyl acetate was added to the residue, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (100 mL) with, Discard the organic layer, adjust the water layer to pH=2 with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 mol/L), and filter.The filter cake was dried to obtain a white solid of 6.58 g, and the yield was 63.29percent.Succinic acid anhydride (0.66 g, 6.6 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (0.65 g, 6.0 mmol) were dissolved in CHThe succinic anhydride (10g, 0.1mol), benzyl alcohol (11.88g, 0.11mol), 4- dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (120mg) was added to a 100ml flask, THF (50ml) as solvent, the outside temperature 50 ° C reaction 5h. The reaction solution was concentrated, ethyl acetate was added, the organic layer was successively washed with water, saturated NaHCO3 solution, saturated brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated to a solid with isopropyl ether / acetone and recrystallized to give a white solid 12g, yield 57.7percent, Benzyl succinic acid was synthesized by following a known procedure.A solution of Succinic anhydride (184 grams, 1.84 mol), Benzyl alcohol (200 grams, 1.849 mol) and PTSA (1 gram, 5.25 mmol) in Xylene (1200 ml) was stirred at reflux temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured onto 10percent Sodium bicarbonate solution (2500 ml), aqueous layer washed with Ethyl acetate (500 ml), pH made acidic with dil HCl, extracted with Chloroform, dried over Sodium sulphate, distilled under reduced pressure, precipitated the residue by using Hexane to give pure Succinic acid mono benzyl ester (250 grams) as white powder with a melting point of 61-63° C. The product was characterized by 10.0 g (100 mmol) of succinic anhydride, 10 ml of THF (tetrahydrofuran), 10.8 g (100 mmol) of benzyl alcohol and 4 ml of pyridine were combined and stirred for 5 days at ambient temperature. The solution was diluted with toluene. The mixture was extracted with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The water phase was separated, and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The product was extracted with toluene to yield 18.5 g of succinic acid monobenzyl ester.Butanedioic acid monobenzylester 21 Butanedioic acid monobenzylester 21
