Reaktionsschritte

The procedure is as in Example 4 for the preparation of ethyl 6-phenyl-6-oxo-5-methylthio-2-dimethylamino-2,4-hexadienoate, starting with N-(3-dimethylamino-3-ethoxycarbonylpropenylidene)-N-methylmethanaminium tetrafluoroborate (13.9 g), a 2M ethanolic solution of sodium ethylate (24.2 cc) and α-methylthio-4-methoxyacetophenone (9.5 g) in ethanol (97 cc). After purification on a silica column with a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate (50:50 by volume) as eluent, ethyl 2-dimethylamino-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methylthio-6-oxo-2,4-hexadienoate (6.1 g) is obtained, and is used in the crude state in the subsequent syntheses.
