Benzaldehyde → HCID 178515616, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-amino-2-naphthol 1 (8.2 g, 52 mmol), benzaldehyde (16 mL, 156 mmol) and sodium sulfate (41.3 g, 291 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was stirred at reflux over night. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate/triethyl amine 75/23/2) to give 12.65 g of impure (E)-8-(benzylideneamino)naphthalen-2-ol (2) which was used in the next step without further purification.
