Thionyl Chloride → HCID 10546147, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dichloromethane (50 ml) solution of the 2-(3,5-diisopropyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (1.97 g) obtained in Reference Example 1 was added thionyl chloride (1.04 g) under a nitrogen atmosphere, then the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and to the residue were added brine and chloroform. The organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; dichloromethane) to afford 1.25 g (60%) of the title compound as pale yellow crystals. mp 105-106° C. NMR (CDCl3, 60 MHz) δ: 1.23 (12H, d, J=6.6 Hz), 1.5-2.1 (2H, m), 2.6-3.8 (6H, m), 3.67 (2H, brs), 5.20 (1H, s), 5.50 (1H, brs), 6.88 (2H, s)
