Acetic Acid → HCID 69456164, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.00 g (9.99 mmol) Acetylacetone, 1.78 g (9.99 mmol) 3-[(diethylamino)methyl]-aniline, and 0.15 g (2.5 mmol) 4-toluenesulfonic acid are dissolved in 100 ml toluene. The reaction mixture is refluxed overnight with a Dean-Stark trap to remove water. 0.05 g (0.83 mmol) 4-toluenesulfonic acid are again added and the mixture is refluxed overnight. As tlc control showed that there is some 3-[(diethylamino)-methyl]aniline left, 0.2 g (2 mmol) acetylacetone are added and refluxing is continued for 4 h. To drive the reaction to completion, 0.6 ml (9.98 mmol) acetic acid and 0.2 g (2 mmol) acetylacetone are added and the mixture is refluxed overnight with a Dean-Stark trap. After cooling down to room temperature, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica with dichloromethane/methanol mixtures as eluent.
