Acetic Anhydride → HCID 20300069, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.9 grams of (4-diethylamino-2-ethoxyphenyl)(3-carboxyquinoxalin-2-yl)ketone, 2.1 grams of 8-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and 15 ml. of acetic anhydride was heated at 80° C. for 1 hour and poured into a mixture of ice ammonia and toluene. The toluene portion was separated, washed with saturated sodium sulfate solution, filtered through phase separation paper and concentrated. Petroleum ether was added to the concentrate and 2.7 grams of crystalline material was filtered off. This material was recrystallized four times from a mixture of toluene and petroleum ether to yield a final product with a melting point of 135°-136° C. A solution of the product produced a blue color when applied to a record sheet material coated with a zinc-modified phenolic resin or silton clay.
