Reaction Steps

To a solution of nicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride [296] (0.725 g, 4.0 mmol, 1.5 eq) in THF (30 ml) was added TEA (1 ml, x mmol, y eq) drop-wise at 0° C. A solution of curcumin, (1E,4Z,6E)-5-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,4,6-trien-3-one [4151] (1.0 g, 2.7 moles, 1.0 eq) and pyridine (1 ml) in THF (10 ml) was then added at the same temperature. The reaction temperature was gradually increased to RT. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 h at RT. Reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (200 ml), washed by saturated NaHCO3 solution (75 ml) and water (100 ml) successively. The EtOAc layer was separated, dried with sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a crude product. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using (2% MeOH: DCM, 100-200 mesh) get the desired product, 4-((1E,4Z,6E)-5-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxohepta-1,4,6-trien-1-yl)-2-methoxyphenyl nicotinate [307] as yellow solid (0.30 g, 23%).
