Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen atmosphere, to a solution of 6-amino-2,2-dimethylchromene (3.88 g, 22.1 mmol) and ruthenium trichloride (55.0 mg, 0.265 mmol) in dimethylene glycol dimethyl ether (8 mL), 1,3-propanediol (0.639 mL, 8.84 mmol) and tri-n-butyl phosphine (0.132 mL, 0.530 mmol) were added at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 180° C. for 5 hours. Upon the completion of the reaction, ruthenium complex was removed by florisil column, and solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by medium pressure column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1) and the aimed product was obtained (yield: 59%).
