Formaldehyde → HCID 15290077, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5 ml of chloroform were added 152 mg of 4-acetoxyphenol, 211 mg of methyl 1-piperazinecarbodithioate and 36 mg of paraformaldehyde. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The mixture was cooled, and to this was added chloroform. The mixture was then washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and placed under reduced pressure to distill of the solvent. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to yield an oil. The oil was crystallized by addition of ethanol. The obtained crystals were collected by filtration to give 224 mg of the desired compound as a white crystalline product, m.p. 124° C., yield 65.9%.
