Piperidine → HCID 9845939, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.72 g of isopropyl acetoacetate, 0.025 ml of acetic acid and 0.05 ml of piperidine are added to 1.24 g (5 mmol) of 3-benzylquinoline-5-aldehyde in 20 ml of methylene chloride and the mixture is heated at the boiling point overnight. It is cooled, diluted with methylene chloride, extracted twice by shaking with water, dried and concentrated. The resulting intermediate product is suspended in 15 ml of isopropanol, 0.41 g (5 mmol) of 3-aminocrotononitrile are added and the mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 20 hours. It is concentrated and the residue is purified by flash chromatography with toluene/ethyl acetate mixtures. After crystallization from ethanol/ether 1:1, 1.0 g of colourless crystals of melting point 188°-190° C. is obtained.
