4-(Dimethylamino)Benzaldehyde → HCID 70351311, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.22 g of 1,3-diamino-2-methylimidazolium chloride is dissolved in 5 ml of glacial acetic acid, whereupon the solution is treated with a solution of 0.45 g of 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in 5 ml of glacial acetic acid. After stirring for 2 hours, the yellow precipitate is removed by filtration. After drying, there is obtained 1,3-bis[[p-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]amino]-2-methylimidazolium chloride of decomposition point 264°-266°. The mother liquor is treated with ether, to yield a second portion of the desired product. The material obtained is recrystallized from hot water. There is obtained 1,3-bis[[p-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]amino]-2-methylimidazolium chloride of decomposition point 270°.
