Piperidine → 3-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-oxindole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.0 g of oxindole was dissolved in 40 ml of ethanol, and 2.0 g of p-anisaldehyde was added thereto at room temperature. Subsequently, 1.5 ml of piperidine was added, and the mixture was refluxed with heat for 13 hours. After completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled. Crystals that precipitated were collected by filtration. The resultant crude product was washed with methanol, to thereby obtain 2.6 g (yield 71%) of the title compound in the form of yellow crystals. The melting point and elementary analysis data are shown in Table 13, and NMR and MS spectrum data are shown in Table 14.
