Sodium Carbonate → HCID 23046187, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[3-[5-[3,5-dimethoxy-4-{(2-methoxyethoxy)methoxy}phenyl]-(2E,4E)-2,4-pentadienoylamino]propyl]-4-(3-indolyl)piperidine (1.67 g) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.64 g) in methanol (33 ml) was refluxed for 30 minutes under an inert atmosphere. Upon cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was added dropwise to an aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The resulting powder was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel and eluted with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (10:1 V/V). The fractions containing the object compound were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and water (7:3 V/V) to give 1-[3-{5-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-(2E,4E)-2,4-pentadienoylamino}propyl]-4-(3-indolyl)piperidine (0.51 g).
