Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.6 g of 4-phenylbutyric acid in 50 ml of dried pyridine, was added 3.1 g of DCC. After 30 minutes of stirring, 2.6 g of 4-(β-amidinoethenyl)-phenol methanesulfonate was added and the mixture was stirred overnight. The insolubles were removed by filtration and ethyl ether was added to the filtrate to precipitate crystals. The crystals were collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 2.2 g of 4-(β-amidinoethenyl)phenyl 4-phenylbutyrate methanesulfonate.
