Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 69054300, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 ml of ethanol, 5.2 g (33.3 mmol) of 1-decanal and 0.9 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added to 6.0 g (22.2 mmol) of N1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-biguanide hydrochloride, and the mixture was refluxed for 7 hours. The solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was cooled. The resulting precipitated crystals were filtered, and recrystallized from 80% aqueous ethanol to obtain 3.1 g of colorless crystals having a melting point of 238 to 240° C.
