Benzyldiphenylamine → 1-(Diphenylamino)-1-phenyl-2-(1-naphthyl)ethylene

Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound was synthesized from diphenylbenzylamine and N-phenyl-1-naphthaldimine under the same conditions outlined for (E)-1-(diphenylamino)-1-phenyl-2-phenylethylene above. Recrystallizatiom from ethyl acetate/methanol gave small crystals mp 170-2° C. 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ (assignment): 6.60-6.90 (m, 2 H, aromatic), 6.80-7.38 (m, 15 H, aromatic), 7.52-7.85 (m, 6 H, aromatic). MS [m/e (70 eV, % of base peak] C10H7CHCPhNPh2 397 (M+., 43.1), 180 (PhCNPh+, 100), 77 (Ph+, 43.2); HRMS (m/z) for C30H23N (M+.), calcd. 397.183 found 397.195.
