Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3,4-methylenedioxyaniline (10 mmol) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (10 mmol) in methanol is stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The precipitate obtained is filtered off and washed and then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. After the addition of acetic acid and sodium borohydride (25 mmol), the reaction mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour, then the solvent is evaporated off and the crude residue is purified by chromatography on silica using dichloromethane as eluant.
