Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 10083450, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-tetralone (5.85 g, 0.040 mole) and salicylaldehyde (4.88 g, 0.040 mole) in t-butanol (400 mL) was treated with potassium t-butoxide (17.6 g, 0.160 mole) and heated at reflux for 16 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was poured into stirred 1.0N hydrochloric acid. After isolation by extraction with ethyl acetate, the crude product was chromatographed with 4:1 petroleum ether/ether, to provide a tan solid. This was recrystallized (cyclohexane/chloroform) to give the title compound as white needles (5.24 g, 52%), mp 124°-125°.
