Benzaldehyde → HCID 23051206, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

9-Amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine-1-ol (15.0 g) was refluxed in 1 liter of toluene that contained 12.28 g of morpholine and 9.29 g of benzaldehyde that had been freshly washed with K2CO3. The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight and allowed to cool. The crude product was then filtered off and purified by flash chromatography (20% isopropanol/ethyl acetate) to give 8.07 g of a 80:20 mixture of diastereomers after recrystallization from methanol/water. Recrystallization from dimethylformamide/water gave a 60:40 mixture of diastereomers, m.p. 225°-235° C.
