4-Octylaniline → N-(p-octylphenyl)-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium triflate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 4.58-g portion (0.01 mole) of 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium triflate is added to 200 ml of ethanol. To this solution, 2.05 g (0.01 mole) of p-n-octylaniline is added. The mixture is refluxed for about 20 hours. Upon removing the ethanol by rotating evaporation, an orange oil remains. To remove the last of the ethanol the oil is placed under high vacuum.
