Azomethines Based on Pyridoxal-Derived Aromatic Aldehydes

Аннотация

The reaction of pyridoxal with 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in a hydrochloric acid solution gave 1-(5-formyl-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3-dihydrofuro[3,4-c]pyridin-5-ium chloride. Treatment of the latter with sodium hydride in ethanol afforded a free aldehyde in 85% yield. A series of azomethines and imidazolidines was obtained by reacting the obtained aldehyde with various amines and diamines.
