Convenient Synthesis of 2,6-di-tert-Butyl-4-[5-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxapentyl]phenols and their thia-Analogues
Abstract
A convenient large scale procedure for the synthesis of Nicanartine {2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-[5-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxapentyl]phenol}, an antiatherosclerotic compound has been developed, the synthetic route towards the thia-analogue as well as various branched-chain oxa- and thia-derivatives of the parent compound has also been investigated.
