Participants

Reaction Steps

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-9-acridinamine (4.0 g) was refluxed in 400 ml of toluene containing morpholine (3.5 g) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (3.78 g). After forty-eight (48) hours an additional 3.78 g of aldehyde was added and reflux was continued for an additional twenty-four (24) hours. At the end of this time the reaction mixture was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography. Fractions containing the product were concentrated and recrystallized from CH2Cl2 /pentane to give 3.38 g of product, m.p. 237°-238° C.
