Methanol → HCID 17968814, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 ml of methanol, 1.63 g of 2,6-diacetylpyridine (molecular weight 163.18; 10 mmols), and 4.84 g of 2,4-dimethylaniline (molecular weight 121.18; 40 mmols) were put into a 300 ml flask, and thoroughly stirred to prepare a homogeneous mixture. 0.6 ml of formic acid was added to this, and further the mixture was stirred for 12 hours to make the compounds reacted completely. The reaction mixture was left at −78° C. for 1 hour, and the resulting pale yellow crystal was taken out through filtration, washed with methanol, and dried under reduced pressure. Its 1H-NMR spectrum was assigned as the intended product, 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(2,4-dimethylphenylimine) (molecular weight 369.52; 1.60 g, 4.33 mmols, yield 43%).
