2,4-Oxazolidinedione → 5-[5-[3-Methoxy-4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)phenyl]pentyl]-2,4-oxazolidinedione

Participants

Reaction Steps

In substantially the same manner as in Working Example 11, (E,E)-5-[3-methoxy-4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)phenyl]-2,4-pentadien-1-al was condensed with 2,4-oxazolidinedione. The condensate was subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to yield 5-[5-[3-methoxy-4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)phenyl]pentyl]-2,4-oxazolidinedione. The product was recrystallized from dichloromethane-ether to give colorless prisms, m.p.114-115° C.
