4-Chloro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde → Ethyl 6-(4-chloro-3-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Reflux a solution of 7.54 g (14 mmol) of ethyl (2E,4E)-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-[(triphenylphosphoranylidene)amino]penta-2,4-dienoate and 2.42 g (15.4 mmol) of 4-chloro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde in 280 mL of anhydrous acetonitrile for 96 h. After cooling to RT, concentrate the reaction mixture under reduced pressure and purify the residue obtained by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with a cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (EtOAc) gradient from 0 to 30% of EtOAc. After concentration under reduced pressure, we obtain 2.4 g of ethyl 6-(4-chloro-3-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate in the form of white powder.
