Participants

Reaction Steps

6.1 g of malonitrile is dissolved in 100 mL of dimethylformamide. To the solution, in several portions, 3.6 g of 60% oily dispersion of sodium hydride are added. To the clear solution 18 g of 5-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)isatoic anhydride is added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 10 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with 100 mL of water and extracted with 2×50 mL of ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is evaporated in vacuum, the solid residue is dissolved in 50 mL of water, the pH is adjusted to 6 with acetic acid and refluxed for 5 hours. After cooling the precipitated material is filtered off, washed with water. After drying 14.3 g of the title compound is obtained, m.p.: 291° C.
