Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-methylfuran-2-carbaldehyde (32 mg, 29 μl, 0.29 mmol), compound 6 (101 mg, 0.29 mmol), and ethanol (1 mL) were heated in a microwave reactor at 170° C. for 10 min. A white product was isolated, washed and recrystallized from ethanol to afford 51 mg of 7 (42% yield); m.p.>300° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 7.41 (broad m, 4H), 6.95 (d, 2H, J=8.42 Hz), 6.90-6.83 (m, 2H), 6.29 (d, 2H, J=2.93 Hz), 6.08 (d, 1H, J=2.19 Hz), 5.80 (d, 1H, J=2.93 Hz), 5.69 (d, 1H, J=2.93 Hz), 3.50 (s, 3H), 3.12 (s, 3H), 2.11 (s, 3H). 13C NMR (DMSO): 159.2, 153.1, 151.9, 151.9, 139.2, 131.5, 129.6, 129.4, 128.8, 126.9, 124.3, 122.8, 120.6, 118.2, 117.6, 111.9, 108.9, 107.1, 105.2, 47.8, 32.3, 28.2, 13.9. HRMS (ES+) (m/z): [M+1]+ calculated for C26H23N4O3, 439.1765. found, 439.1771.
