Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.46 g (1 mmol) of 2-amino-11-benzylidene-7-n-butyl-5,6,8,9,10,11-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,10]phenanthroline-3-carboxaldehyde HCl salt (XX) in 40 mL of dichloromethane and 20 mL of methanol is stirred at approximately -78° C. and ozone is bubbled through the orangish-yellow solution. When the color of the reaction mixture changes to pale greenish-yellow, the solution is immediately purged by bubbling in N2 for 5 minutes. Dimethylsulfide (1.0 mL) is added and the reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature. The solvents are removed by rotary evaporation and the residue is triturated with 100 mL of ether, yielding 0.39 g (100%) of product.
