Ammonia → HCID 22918420, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogously to Example 1, 294.4 mg (0.5 mmol) of 4,5-bis(4-benzyloxy-anilino)phthalic acid dimethyl ester in 22 ml of ethylene glycol are heated at 120°, ammonia gas being passed through the mixture, with stirring, for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate phases are washed in succession three times with water and once with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation. The evaporation residue is chromatographed on silica gel with dichloromethane/methanol 50:1 and the product fractions are combined and concentrated by evaporation, yielding the title compound in the form of red crystals, m.p.187°-189° C., FAB-MS: 542 [M+ +H].
