Participants

Reaction Steps

The subject compound was prepared from ethyl 3-(1-methylethyl)-6-(2-pyridinyl)-5-oxohexanoate and a sodium ethoxide solution according to the general procedure of Example 2, but employing a 2.83 hour reflux period following completion of the feed. On working up the reaction the ether-extracted aqueous phase was adjusted to pH 6 causing the product to separate as a tan solid which was extracted with ether, recovered by evaporation and recrystallized twice from cyclohexene to give a solid, mp 110°-112° C. The confirmatory elemental analysis is shown in Table II.
