3-Nitrobenzaldehyde → 5-Acetyl-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-(3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-4-(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 0.53 g of 5-acetonyl-3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, 0.46 g of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and 0.30 g of 2-amino-4-oxo-2-pentene in 4 ml of isopropyl alcohol was heated under reflux for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel using benzene-acetonitrile (15:1) as eluent to give 0.79 g of 5-acetyl-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-(3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-4-(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine.
