Reaktionsschritte

1,3-Azulenedicarboxaldehyde (600 mg) is dissolved in 6.5 ml of pyridine. Magnesium sulfate (1200 mg) and N-tert-butylhydroxylammne hydrochloride (1638 mg,) is added to the solution,. The mixture is heated wit stirring to 95° C. under nitrogen and is stirred for 13 hours. Upon cooling to rt, the reaction mixture is poured into a separator flinnel containing 60 ml of CHCl3 and 60 ml of sat aq. NaHCO3. The aqueous layer is separated and washed with three 30 ml portions of CHCl3. The combined organc layers are dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated to give the bis-nitrone 34 (940 mg, 89% yield) as dark green crystals. Oxidation potential equals 0.72 V vs SCE. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 10.35 (s, 1H), 8.65 (d, 2H, J=10 Hz) 8.11 (s, 2H), 7.68 (t, 1H, J=10 Hz), 7.32 (t, 2H, J=10 Hz), 1.67 (s, 18H). 13C NMR (CDCl3): 139.9, 135.0, 134.2, 125.8, 125.6, 123.2, 120.5, 69.8, 28.4. IR (thin film): 3052, 2972, 1644, 1564, 1452, 1404, 1356, 1261, 1196, 1124, 1052, and 892 cm-1.
