2-Thiophenecarboxaldehyde → HCID 10709982, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-ethanone (20 g, 0.093 mol), thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (10.46 g, 0.093 mol) and borax (35.4 g, 0.093 mol) in ethanol (120 mL) and H2O (200 mL) was refluxed for one day. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with an equal volume of H2O and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated to give 6-bromo-2-thiophen-2-yl-chroman-4-one (16 g, 50%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 3.01 (m, 1H), 3.10 (m, 1H), 5.75 (dd, 1H), 6.94 (d, 1H), 7.02 (t, 1H), 7.05 (d, 1H), 7.32 (d, 1H), 7.54 (dd, 1H), 8.00 (d, 1H).
