2-Tridecanone → 2,3-Dihydroperimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 26.05 g of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene, 32.66 g of 2-tridecanone, 55 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate, and 250 mL of toluene was heated to reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere using a Dean-Stark trap to remove the water evolved from the reaction for 5 hr. The mixture was then washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The product was distilled to yield 48.86 g of dihydroperimidine intermediate, bp 192°-213° C. at 0.3 to 0.4 torr.
