Cyclohexanone → HCID 71238801, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 19.3 g of methyl 4-(3-{4-[(cyanoacetyl)amino]phenyl}propyl)benzoate, 18 mL of cyclohexanone, and 100 mL of toluene was added dropwise 5.0 mL of morpholine at room temperature. In a reaction device in which a Dean-Stark type dehydration tube was installed, the reaction mixture was stirred for 8 hours under heating and refluxing. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane-chloroform and ethyl acetate-chloroform) to obtain methyl 4-[3-(4-{[cyano(cyclohexylidene)acetyl]amino}phenyl)propyl]benzoate in the form of a reddish brown amorphous substance as a crude product.
