Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Aminoisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (600 mg, 4 mmol), picolinaldehyde (856 mg, 8 mmol) and 1 g of MgSO4 were added into 40 mL of dichloromethane and the mixture was stirred under reflux overnight, then the mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residues was dried in vacuum. 476 mg of (E)-4-(pyridin-2-ylmethyleneamino) isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one was obtained. A mixture of (E)-4-(pyridin-2-ylmethyleneamino) isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (476 mg, 2 mmol), benzaldehyde (212 mg, 2 mmol), sodium methanolate (432 mg, 8 mmol) and ethyl propionate (40 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then the resulting mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether:ethyl acetate 20:1 to 5:1) to give 30 mg of methyl 4-oxo-3-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-5-carboxylate; yield 5%. LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 459 (M+1)+.
