Hexa-2,4-dienal → HCID 57037858, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4 Grams (0.021 mole) of 3-carboxymethylrhodanine was dissolved into 30 ml of acetic acid. To the solution were added 2 g (0.021 mole) of hexa-2,4-dienal and 3.8 g (0.046 mole) of sodium acetate, and the resultant was stirred under mild reflux for 5 hours. The obtained black reaction mixture was concentrated to about one-half its initial volume under reduced pressure. The residual mixture was poured into water to form precipitate. The precipitate was extracted with ethyl acetate and the extract was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate to give 4.1 g of 3-carboxymethyl-5-(2,4-hexadienylidene)rhodanine in the form of yellow prism (yield: 73%).
