4-Aminobenzonitrile → 4-[(2-Ethoxy-3,4-dioxocyclobut-1-en-1-yl)amino]benzonitrile

참여 물질

반응 단계

4-Aminobenzonitrile (17.58 g, 149 mmol) was added to a solution of 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (25.31 g, 149 mmol) in absolute ethanol (450 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux overnight and the resulting suspension filtered hot to remove a small amount of a dirty yellow solid (discarded). The tiltrate was gradually concentrated to afford several crops of 4-(3,4-dioxo-2-ethoxy-cyclobut-1-enylamino)-benzonitrile, as a bright yellow solid, which were collected by filtration and combined. Yield: 29.11 g (81%): 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 11.07 (s, 1H), 7.81 (d, 2H), 7.56 (d, 2H), 4.79 (q, 2H), 1.46 (t, 3H).
