Formic Acid → HCID 68427706, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)octahydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole (0.7 g), formaldehyde (37%; 0.27 ml), formic acid (0.28 ml) and dioxane (1 ml) was heated to reflux for two hours. The cooled reaction mixture was mixed with hydrochloric acid (2M; 1.7 ml) and concentrated. The residue was taken up in water, and potassium hydroxide was added until the reaction was strongly alkaline. The resulting precipitate was filtered off with suction. The product with the molecular weight of 247.30 (C13H17N3O2); MS (ESI): 248 (M+H+) was obtained in this way.
