Villani, Frank J.; Wefer, Elizabeth A.; Mann, Thomas A.; Mayer, Joseph; Peer, Lydia; Levy, Alfred S. published the artcile< Derivatives of 10, 11-dihydro-5H-benzo(a,d)cycloheptane and related compounds. VII. Improved syntheses of 11-H-benzo(5,6)cyclohepta(1,2-c)pyridin-11-one>, SDS of cas: 33402-75-4, the main research area is benzocycloheptapyridine; nicotinamide styryl thienyl; nicotinate styryl benzocycloheptapyridine.
An improved synthesis of the title compound (I) was described. The base-catalyzed condensation of 4-methylnicotinonitrile with PhCHO resulted in the isolation of trans-4-styrylnicotinamide (II, R = NH2) in high yield. Hydrolysis to II (R = OH) and heating with polyphosphoric acid gave I in good yields. Even higher yields of I were obtained in the presence of catalytic quantities of selenium. Also described are two other syntheses of the title compound and the preparation of a series of compounds related to II.
Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry published new progress about Condensation reaction. 33402-75-4 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C8H9NO2, SDS of cas: 33402-75-4.
