Lithium iodide → HCID 15734853, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-(2-cyanoiminothiazolidin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxylate (1.15 g) and lithium iodide (3.44 g) in 2,6-lutidine (11.5 ml) was refluxed overnight. The resulting mixture was dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate and 10% hydrochloric acid, and the organic layer was separated and washed with brine. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (elution with 30:1 to 4:1 chloroform-methanol) followed by recrystallization from ethanol to give 4-(2-cyanoiminothiazolidin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxylic acid (0.63 g).
