Acrylic Acid → HCID 86738176, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 60 g.=56 cc. of acrylic acid and 60 g. of 3-diallylaminoallylidenemalononitrile (A) in 250 cc. of ethanol was refluxed. 6 g. of AZBN were added and it was reflux-washed for 18 hours. It was cooled, saturated with ether and precipitated in ether, washed with ether and vacuum dried at 50° C. The yield was 92 g. of a product containing about 27% of aminoallylidenemalononitrile units in weight, whose solution at 6% in water and NaOH at pH7 was diluted at 1:8000 with water had an optical density of 0.60 at 382 nm. All subsequent optical density readings are given at this wavelength unless otherwise stated.
