Tetrahydrofuran → 1-[5-(1,2-dihydroxy-2-methylpropyl)pyridin-2-yl]-5-[5-(methylsulfanyl)pyridin-2-yl]-6-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)hexane-1,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[5-(methylsulfanyl)pyridin-2-yl]-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)pent-1-en-3-one (0.50 g), 5-(1,2-dihydroxy-2-methylpropyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (0.32 g), 3-benzyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-3-ium chloride (43 mg), triethylamine (0.09 mL), tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) and ethanol (6 mL) was stirred with heating under reflux for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and the title compound (0.51 g, yield 61%) was obtained as a colorless oil from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate. MS: 524 (MH+).
