Potassium Carbonate → 6-Ethynylthiochroman-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution containing 600.0 mg (2.25 mmol) of 2,3-dihydro-6-(2-trimethylsilylethynyl)-(4H)-1-benzothiopyran-4-one and 100.0 mg (0.72 mmol) K2CO3 in 15 ml MeOH was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The solution was diluted with H2O and extracted with Et2O. The combined organic layers were washed with H2O and saturated aqueous NaCl before being dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvents under reduced pressure afforded the title compound as an orange solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ8.17 (1H, d, J=1.8 Hz), 7.40 (1H, dd, J=1.8, 8.2 Hz), 7.19 (1H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 3.22 (2H, t, J=6.3 Hz), 3.08 (1H, s) 2.94 (2H, t, J=6.3.Hz).
