Procedure

The solution of 1.2 g (3.7 mmol) of 2-[(3-pyridyl)(2-thienyl)methyl]-3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone in 20 ml of ethanol was refluxed by heating in the presence of 24 g of Raney nickel (W-6) for 5 hours. After cooling the catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated and redissolved in ethyl acetate and shaken with the solution of 1.2 g of ferric chloride in 10 ml of water. The mixture was made weakly alkaline with sodium hydrogen carbonate, from which the organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether (1:1)), to give 0.8 g (72.5%) of 2-[1-(3-pyridyl)pentyl]-3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (Compound No. 7).
