Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL round bottom flask was added a solution of methyl 3-oxo-3-(5-pyridin-4-yl-2-thienyl)propanoate (0.150 g, 0.574 mmol), 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (0.097 g, 0.689 mmol) and piperidine (0.006 mL, 0.057 mmol) in anhydrous benzene (10.00 mL, 111.9 mmol). Acetic acid (0.023 mL, 0.401 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was fitted with a Dean-Stark trap and the bath was heated to 92° C. and allowed to reflux for 18 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was dry loaded onto silica gel and then purified using ISCO (12 g cartridge, gradient hexanes to 100% EtOAc over 30 min) to afford the title compound (0.145 g, 63%) as a white solid. LC/MS (AA) ES+ 384, 386. 1H NMR (dmso-d6, 400 MHz): δ 8.66-8.65 (m, 2H), 8.00 (d, 1H), 7.84-7.75 (m, 4H), 7.47-7.46 (m, 4H), 3.76 (s, 3H).
