Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → HCID 178418537, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of dimethylformamide were dissolved 11.1 g of 1-(3-carboxyphenyl)-5-mercaptotetrazole and 7.6 g of 4-(2-formylhydrazino)aniline, and a solution of 10.3 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in 10 ml of dimethylformamide was added dropwise to the solution at 0° C. in a nitrogeneous atmosphere over about 30 minutes. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The precipitated dicyclohexylurea was separated by filtration, and the filtrate was added to 500 ml of ice-water while stirring. The thus precipitated crystals were filtered, washed with water and dispersed in 100 ml of hot methanol. The dispersion was allowed to cool to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was washed with methanol to obtain 4.5 g of the desired compound. Melting point: 202° C. (with decomposition).
