Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 69056761, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 ml of ethanol, 5.3 ml (28.1 mmol) of 1-decanal and 0.8 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added to 5.0 g (18.7 mmol) of N1-(2,3,4-trifluorophenyl)-biguanide hydrochloride, and the mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (elution with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (9:2)), and recrystallized from 80% aqueous acetonitrile to obtain 4.7 g of colorless crystals having a melting point of 210 to 212° C.
