Ethanol → 5-(4-Ethoxy-quinolin-6-ylmethylene)-2-methylsulfanyl-thiazol-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the suspension of 5-[1-quinolin-6-yl-meth-(Z)-ylidene]-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one (example 40a) (2.4 g, 20 mmol), iodomethane (2.54 mL, 40 mmol) and DIEA (N,N-diisopropylethylamine) (6.4 mL, 30 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (70 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. After adding water (50 mL), the solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 5-(4-ethoxy-quinolin-6-ylmethylene)-2-methylsulfanyl-thiazol-4-one (5.67 g, 84%) as a yellow solid. LC-MS m/e 331 (MH+)
