Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 11118115, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-(2-pyridyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (2.0 g), 1-amino-2-butyne hydrochloride (0.1.1 g), molecular sieves 4A (2 g), tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) and ethanol (10 ml) was added triethylamine (2.1 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, refluxed for 4 hours and cooled. Insoluble materials were filtered off. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/MeOH) to give solid. The solid was stirred for 10 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, and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/hexane) to give oil of 4-methyl-7-(2-pyridyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-5-one (0.28 g).
