Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 5.00 g (28 mmol) of 4-diethylaminobenzaldehyde, 5.62 g (31 mmol) of 4-nitrophenylacetic acid, 2.40 g (28 mmol) of piperidine, and 100 mL of xylenes was heated with stirring at reflux for 20 hours with continuous removal of water using a Dean-Stark apparatus. The mixture turned dark red. Approximately half the xylenes was distilled, and the residue was cooled to 3 0° C. Red crystals separated which were collected and then recrystallized from isopropanol/pyridine. Yield: 4.05 g (48%), mp 179-181 (lit2 182°-182.5° C.).
