Benzaldehyde → HCID 59449617, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL 3-neck flask, 0.7146 g of piperidine (8.358 mmol) catalyst, 1.4369 g of benzaldehyde (13.543 mmol), and 10.2061 g of bis(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl) malonate (12.818 mmol) were stirred at room temperature. Throughout the reaction, both a solid and liquid were observed. After two hours, some of the liquid was removed mixed with acetone to obtain a GC sample that indicated a deficiency of benzaldehyde. Approximately 1 mL of additional benzaldehyde was added. After 24 hours, the reaction was stopped and solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator. The residue was dissolved in petroleum ether and cooled in dry ice overnight. The sample was then vacuum filtered to yield the desired white solid bis(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl)2-benzylidenemalonate.
