Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one (250 mg, 0.8 mmol) was added to a mixture of cesium carbonate (1.05 g, 3.22 mmol) and DMF (20 mL) at RT under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 30 minutes upon which 2-(chloromethyl)-5-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (218 mg, 1.2 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at for 4 h (the reaction was monitored by TLC) upon which the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using 15% ethyl acetate in n-hexane and silica gel (230-400 mesh) to afford 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(4-((5-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)phenyl)furan-3(2H)-one (280 mg, 77.7%,) as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR: 500 MHz, DMSO-d6: δ 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.6 (d, 2H), 7.4 (d, 1H), 7.25 (t, 1H), 7.2 (d, 3H), 7.15 (d, 2H), 7.0 (d, 2H), 6.8 (d, 1H), 5.2 (s, 2H) 3.85 (s, 3H), 2.6 (s, 3H), 1.25 (s, 6H). MS: [M+H]+: m/z=455.6. HPLC: (97.3%, Condition-A).
