Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 1.7M hexane solution (3.5 ml) containing 6 mmol of n-butyl lithium was added dropwise to 10 ml of an anhydrous tetrahydrofuran solution containing 1.24 g (5 mmol) of 2,6-diphenyl-γ-pyrone which was cooled to -20° C. One hour later, the reaction mixture was poured into 50 ml of a 6 wt% aqueous solution of perchloric acid. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration, dissolved in a small amount of methylene chloride and reprecipitated in diethyl ether. The precipitated yellow solid was separated by filtration and dried to obtain 0.88 g (yield: 45%) of 2,6-diphenyl-3-n-propylpyrylium perchlorate.
