Benzonitrile → HCID 13431722, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.38 g (2 mmol) of 4-anilino-1-methyl-piperidine 1 dissolved in 10 ml of 1.2-dichloroethane are added 0.3 ml (2×1.2 mmol) of boron trifluoride ether adduct, 0.28 ml (2×1.2 mmol) of silicon tetrachloride, and 0.41 ml (2×2 mmol) of benzonitrile at room temperature with stirring, and the mixture is heated under reflux with stirring for 20 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and a solution of 2.5 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 10 ml of water and 4 ml of methanol are added thereto with stirring under ice-cooling. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and extracted with dichloromethane; the organic layer is washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The resulting residue is recrystallized from ether-petroleum ether to give 414 mg of crystalline 2-(1-methyl-4-piperidinyl)aminobenzophenone imine 2.
