Toluene → HCID 67497844, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-[2-(4-biphenylyliminomethyleneamino)phenyl]acrylate (11) (1.12 g, 3.15 mmol) in toluene (100 ml) was added N,N-dibenzyl-N′-methylpentane-1,5-diamine (18) (1.87 g, 6.30 mmol). Then, the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours and extracted with dichloromethane three times. The combined organic phase was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate:hexane:dichloromethane=1:2:1) to give the target compound as a yellow liquid (2.56 g, quantitative yield).
