Reaktionsschritte

A solution of alpha-hydroxyacetanilide (3.62 g, 0.024 mole), 4,4'-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)benzhydrol, methyl ether (6.81 g, 0.024 mole) 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 153 ml of n-hexane, and one drop of methanesulfonic acid was refluxed for 11 hours, during which time an additional 300 ml of solvent was added. The blue-green solution was decolorized with 4 drops of tetramethylguanidine and the reaction mixture was filtered hot and the filtrate chilled. Yellow-green crystals formed, which were recrystallized from 30 ml petroleum ether/15 ml acetone to give a white solid, mp 118°-128° C.
