Toluene → 6-[3-(t-Butyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-naphthalen-2-yl-methylene-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of toluene (2.5 mL), piperidine (0.003 mL), acetic acid (0.003 mL), 6-[3-(t-butyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-naphthaldehyde (0.100 g, 0.31 mmol) and 2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (0.041 mg, 0.31 mmol) was heated at reflux for 16.5 hours under an argon atmosphere. The resulting suspension was filtered and the solid was washed with EtOH and H2O. The solid was dried under high vacuum to afford 0.076 g (56%) of 6-[3-(t-butyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-naphthalen-2-yl-methylene-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone, mp 281–284° C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.40 (s, 9H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 7.11 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.61–7.70 (m, 3H), 7.77 (s, 1H), 7.89 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 8.09 (dd, J1=8.4 Hz, J2=3.0 Hz, 2H), 8.10 (s, 2H), 13.9 (brs, 1H).
