Abstract

In the synthesis of related substance E of tadalafil, a special intramolecular aldol-like reaction was discovered. In this reaction, the α-carbon of ketone attacks the carbonyl group of amide, forming a stable amino hemiketal structure. This reaction can only be realized under the catalysis of silica gel, and other acidic or basic reaction conditions are difficult to obtain the desired product. This finding is a meaningful supplement and extension to aldol reactions.
