4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → HCID 86754837, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, 3.20 g of {1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-pyrrolidon-4-yl}methyl methanesulfonate and 1.4 g of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde were dissolved in 32 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide, to which 1.92 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate were added. The resultant mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The thus-obtained residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column and then purified using gradient elution with hexane-ethyl acetate, whereby 2.86 g of the title compound were obtained (yield: 74%).
