Phosphorus oxychloride → HCID 86595016, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat at 100° C. for 2 h a solution of 2-methyl-9-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pyrimidino[4,5-b]indolizin-4-ol (120 mg) in phosphorus oxychloride (2 mL), cool to ambient temperature, and concentrate in vacuo. Partition the residue into ice water and CH2Cl2. Extract the aqueous phase twice with CH2Cl2 and wash the combined organic extracts with a saturated NaHCO3 solution. Dry the solution over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify the dark residue by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: 10% to 20% EtOAc in hexane) to obtain the title compound as a greenish yellow foam: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.99 (s, 6H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 2.79 (s, 3H), 6.80 (m, 1H), 7.00 (s, 2H), 7.19 (m, 2H), 9.27 (d, 1H).
