Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-chloro-benzaldehyde (1.55 g, 11.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethyl-benzene-1,4-diamine (1.5 g, 11.0 mmol) in EtOH (15 ml) was added a catalytic amount of AcOH (0.063 ml, 1.1 mmol) at RT. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux and stirred for 14 h during which time precipitation took place. After cooling to RT, the slurry was filtered and washed with heptane. The solid was collected and dried under high vacuum to yield the title compound (2.09 g, 8.08 mmol, 73%) as a brownish solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 3.01 (s, 6H), 6.78 (m, 2H), 7.29 (m, 2H), 7.44 (m, 2H), 7.84 (m, 2H), 8.49 (s, 1H).
