Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[1-ethyl-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-phenyl)-propyl]-3-methyl-thiophene-2-sulfonic acid dimethylaminemethyleneamide (5.1 g, 12.48 mmol) in 2-butanone (50 ml) is added potassium carbonate (2.59 g, 18.72 mmol), and chloropinacolone (3.28 ml, 24.91 mmol). The reaction is refluxed overnight, filtered, and concentrated. The residue is partitioned between EtOAc (400 ml) and 0.2N HCl (100 ml). The organic layer is washed with brine (100 ml), MgSO4 dried, concentrated, and chromatographed (120 g SiO2, 50% EtOAc/Hex) to yield the title compound (6.11 g, 97%).
