Participants

Reaction Steps

1, 1-di(4-biphenyl)-3 (1g) was added to a mixture of anhydrous sodium acetate (1g), acetic acid (10 ml.) and acetic anhydride (1 ml) and the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was washed with water and dried and recrystallised from n- propanol to give 1, 1-di(4-biphenylyl)- 3 -acetamido-prop-1-ene. (m.p. 246° - 249° C). This compound was reduced in a similar manner to the method described in Example 43 to yield 1,1-di(4-biphenyly;0- 3 -ethylamino-prop-1-ene.
