Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 18317593, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (2.0 g), 1-amino-2-butyne hydrochloride (0.94 g), molecular sieves 4A (4 g) and tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added triethylamine (0.90 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, refluxed for 12 hours and cooled. Insoluble materials were filtered off. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was stirred for 5 hours at 220° C., to which were added ethyl acetate and sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give, the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane). The resulting crystals were recrystallized from isopropylether and hexane to give colorless crystals of 7-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-4-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-5-one (0.47 g).
