3-Thiocresol → 5,6-Dihydro-4-hydroxy-3-(3-methylphenylthio)-6,6-diphenyl-2H-pyran-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared as described in General Method 6 from 1.3 mmol of 3-bromo-5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6,6-diphenyl-2H-pyran-2-one (prepared in example AAA), 1.4 mmol of 3-methylbenzenethiol, and 1.4 mmol of piperidine in 25 mL of dichloromethane. The product was triturated with hexane:ether (1:1) to afford a solid which was dissolved in 2N NaOH, washed with ether, acidified to pH 2, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give a solid (m.p. 58 -60° C.). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 2.07 (s, 3 H), 3.77 (s, 2 H), 6.06 (m, 1 H), 6.45 (s, 1 H), 6.78 (m, 2 H), 7.25-7.47 (m, 10 H).
