Decanal → 5-Decylidene-3-[4-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-5-ylthio)butyl]oxazolidine-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.527 g (5.0 mmol) of 3-[4-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-5-ylthio)butyl]oxazolidine-2,4-dione and 1.11 ml (5.0 mmol) of decanal in 20 ml of ethanol, 0.04 ml (0.5 mmol) of pyrrolidine was added, followed by refluxing for 20 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled, the solvent was distilled off. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, washed with water and dried, after which the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent, n-hexane/ethyl acetate 3/1→ethyl acetate). The resulting residue was crystallized from n-hexane to yield 0.13 g (5.8%, white crystal) of the desired product.
