3-Nitrobenzaldehyde → HCID 178510045, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-amino-benzonitrile (23.6 g, 0.2 mmol) in toluene (200 mL) was treated with a solution of 3-nitro-benzaldehyde (30.2 g, 0.2 mmol) in toluene (50 mL). The resultant mixture was allowed to reflux for 6 h. Toluene was removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by recrystallization from ethanol to afford 4-{[1-(3-nitro-phenyl)-meth-(E)-ylidene]-amino}-benzonitrile as yellow solid (50 g, yield %: 95.0%).
