Reaction Steps

2-Oxopropanal methylhydrazone (7.49 mmol, 750 mg) and (oxo)[3-trifluoromethylphenyl]acetaldehyde (7.0 mmol, 1.42 g) synthesized in Reference Synthetic Example 8 were dissolved in acetic acid (20 mL) and stirred at 100° C. for 4 hours. Then, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dried by means of a vacuum pump and purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1) and then by silica gel thin layer chromatography (chloroform/methanol=30/1) to give the desired product as a reddish yellow liquid (221 mg, yield 11%).
