Dimethylformamide → HCID 86762533, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, to a reaction vessel, 499 mg (3.19 mmol) of 4,4′-bipyridyl, 1.496 g (4.25 mmol, 1.3 eq) of 2-hexyl-1-iododecane, 10 mL of N,N′-dimethylformamide, and 40 mL of acetonitrile were added. The whole was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, and subsequently refluxed at 60° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature, and then the solvent was removed by evaporation. The procedure in which the residue was dissolved in a small amount of THF, reprecipitated with hexane and the precipitate was filtered under reduced pressure, was repeated twice to give 61 mg (120 μmol) of [1-(2-hexyldecyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium]iodide as a yellow solid (yield: 4%).
