Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3,4-dimethoxy-5-bromobenzylidenemalononitrile (293 mg, 1 mmol) and resorcinol (110 mg, 1 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL) was added piperidine (0.1 mL, 1 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated, the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with EtOAc and hexane (1:2) as eluant, yielding 240 mg (59.5%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 9.77 (brs, 1H), 6.96–6.86 (m, 5H), 6.52 (d, J=8.1, 1H), 6.41 (s, 1H), 4.65 (s, 1H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.70 (s, 3H).
