Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone were dissolved 1.86 g (7.46 mmol) of 4-dibutylamino-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 1.66 g (9.71 mmol) of benzyl bromide. To this mixture was added 2.06 g (14.9 mmol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate and the mixture was stirred with heating at 50° C. for 2 hours. After the reaction mixture was added to water, extraction with ethyl acetate, washing with a saturated saline solution, drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentration were performed. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 2.31 g of a pale yellow crystal (yield: 91.3%).
