Bis(2-pyridyl) ketone → HCID 406382, compound

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 50 ml of acetic acid were poured 4.2 g of 97% oxindole, 5.0 g of di-2-pyridylketone, and 20.9 g of ammonium acetate. The mixture was heated for 12 hours at 100° C. Thereafter, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate water, and saturated brine, and subsequently dried over sodium sulfate. The resultant crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate), to thereby obtain 6.4 g (yield 78.8%) of the title compound in the form of yellow crystals. The melting point and elementary analysis data are shown in Table 17, and NMR and MS spectrum data are shown in Table 18.
