Methyl 2-[(2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-8-yl)methylene]-3-oxobutanoate → Methyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-8-yl)-5-(4-methylpentanoyl)-1,4-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

50 mg (0.175 mmol) of methyl 2-[(2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-chromen-8-yl)methylene]-3-oxobutanoate are dissolved with 35 mg (0.227 mmol) of 2-amino-7-methyloct-2-en-4-one in 3 ml of ethanol and heated under reflux under argon for 24 h. The reaction mixture is purified by preparative HPLC. Concentration of the fractions results in 45.3 mg (61% of theory) of the title compound as a white solid.
