2-Chloroethanol → HCID 11673597, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL dry round bottom flask with reflux condenser and magnetic stirrer was placed 2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-one (1.0 g, 4.18 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) and acetonitrile (50 mL). 2-Chloroethanol (2.05 g, 25.0 mmol) was added slowly and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography, using 2% MeOH in dichloromethane to afford 2-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)-4H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-4-one (380 mg, 32% yield). MS (ES) m/z: 284.94 (M+1), 283.95 (M); MP 157-159° C.
