Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 21.4 grams (0.066 mole) of 2-(α-aminobenzylidene)-5-hydroxy-N-methyl-3-oxo-5-phenylvaleramide in 220 milliliters of ethanol is treated by dropwise addition with 10 milliliters of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resulting suspension is stirred for 1.5 hours at room temperature. Ether is then added, and the mixture is filtered. The resulting solid is triturated thoroughly with hot methanol to give 5,6-dihydro-2,6-diphenyl-N-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-carboxamide, m.p. 212° C. - 214° C.
