Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

to a solution of 2-(2,3-dimethoxystyryl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (1.0 g, 3.3 mmole) in pyridine (10 ml) was added dropwise acetic anhydride (0.68 g, 6.6 mmole) with ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was heated with stirring at 80° C. for 3 hours and then a sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the mixture which was extracted with a chloroform-methanol mixed solvent. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography and then recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to obtain the title compound (867 mg, yield: 76.0%).
