Lead dioxide → Michler's ethylene

참여 물질

반응 단계

Into 400 ml of benzene was dissolved 10 g of 2,2-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)propionic acid. Thereto was added 10 g of lead dioxide and the mixture was reacted at room temperature with stirring for 30 minutes. The lead compound was removed by filtration and the benzene layer was washed with 200 ml of 5% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Benzene was removed by distillation at a reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from methanol to obtain 6.3 g (yield 74%) of 1,1-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethylene, having a melting point of 123°~123.5° C.
