Participants

Reaction Steps

The starting substance can be manufactured by dissolving 26 g of 4-methoxy-5-isoamyl-2-picoline in 78 ml of benzaldehyde and 86 ml of acetic anhydride and heating the reaction mixture for 16 hours under reflux. After cooling, the mixture is evaporated, treated with 2 N sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ether. Distillation of the ether residue in a bulb tube in a high vacuum at a temperature of 180°-200° yields 2-styryl-4-methoxy-5-isoamyl-pyridine.
