Methanimidamide, hydrochloride (1:1) → HCID 135464158, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled mixture of formamidine hydrochloride (3.73 g) and methanol (25 mL) was added dropwise 28% sodium methoxide-methanol solution (13.7 mL), and a mixture of methyl 2-[(2′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-3-oxohexanoate (5.90 g), 1,4-dioxane (18 mL) and methanol (25 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hr. The solvent of the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the diluted solution was washed with 0.1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude crystals. The crude crystals were washed with diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as a colorless solid (3.40 g, 61%).
