Acetic Acid → N-(2-cycloheptenyl)dichloromaleinimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-cycloheptenylamine (1.01 g), dichloromaleic anhydride (1.67 g) and acetic acid (10 ml) was heated under reflux for 3 hours. After cooling, ether (20 ml) was added to the reaction mixture which was then washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution in this order. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The deposited crystal was purified by recrystallization from hexane to obtain 1.67 g of N-(2-cycloheptenyl)dichloromaleinimide [Compound (217)].
