Formaldehyde → HCID 11523027, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium cyanoborohydride (74.5 mg, 1.19 mmol) was slowly added dropwise to an acetic acid solution (10 ml) that contained compound 5 (75 mg, 0.237 mmol) and paraformaldehyde (71.1 mg, 2.37 mmol), while stirring. The obtained mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, 50 ml of a 1 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added to the reaction solution, and the obtained mixture was then extracted with 50 ml (25 ml×2) of chloroform. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was then distilled away under reduced pressure, so as to obtain a product of interest, 6-bromo-4′-dimethylaminoflavone (compound 7) in the form of a yellow crystal. Yield: 70 mg (yield constant: 85.7%) 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ8.34 (s, 1H), 7.72-7.82 (m, 3H), 7.43 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.70-6.77 (m, 3H), 3.08 (s, 6H). MS m/z 345 (M+).
