Benzaldehyde → HCID 9819057, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3Z)-1-Acetyl-3-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-methyl-2,5-piperazinedione (10) (200 mg, 0.69 mmol) and sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 28 mg, 0.69 mmol) in dry DMF (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Benzaldehyde (71 μl, 0.69 mmol) was then added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 h. It was then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and washed with brine (4×50 ml). The organic phase was separated, dried (MgSO4), and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica, dichloromethane containing 1% MeOH) to give 48 mg (21 w) of a yellow solid.
