1-Iodopropane → 2,3-dihydro-2-[(4-methylphenyl)imino)-3-propyl-4H-pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 900 mg (3.34 mmol) of 2-(4-methylanilino)-4H-pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-one and 15 ml of DMF was added 27 mg of lithium hydride in a stream of argon, and it was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. To the mixture was then added 568 mg of n-propyl iodide. The mixture was then stirred for 2 hours. After the termination of the reaction, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue was added water and ethyl acetate, and extracted. The resulting organic phase was separated, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was then purified through silica gel column chromatography (eluant: chloroform) to obtain 584 mg of 2,3-dihydro-2-[(4-methylphenyl)imino)-3-propyl-4H-pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-one (recrystallized from a mixture of ether and hexane) as a low polarity substance and 179 mg of 2-[N-(4-methylphenyl)-N-propylamino]-4H-pyrido[3,2-e]-1,3-thiazin-4-one (recrystallized from ether) as a high polarity substance.
