Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium was added to a solution of 1.24 g [70] (2.0 mmol) in 30 ml liquid ammonia until the colour became permanently blue. After thirty minutes the excess sodium was destroyed by adding ammonium chloride. After the ammonia evaporated, the residue was dissolved in water and extracted with chloroform. After drying and removal of the solvent, a white residue was left.
