Water → 20-{3-[N-(4-methylhexahydrophthalimido)amino]-3-oxopropyl}-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-7-oxa-3,20-diazadispiro[5.1.11.2]heneicosane-21-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The hydrazide of Example 1, 13.5 g (0.03 mole), was added to 225 ml xylene at 75° C. Added dropwise to this was 4-methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, 5.1 g (0.03 mole) in 25 ml xylene. The apparatus was fitted with a Dean Stark water separation assembly and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 4 hours with azeotropic removal of water as it formed. The xylenes were stripped using aspirator vacuum and the residual sticky solid was slurried with 300 ml pentane. The solid was filtered and dried for 2 hours on the filter funnel. The white solid product weighed 11.7 g and had a melting range of 210°-212° C. The infrared spectrum (mull) showed two carbonyl bands at 1690 and 1730 cm-1.
