Sodium Carbonate → HCID 20059106, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A total of 8.5 g. (0.0477 mole) of the above aldehyde and 8.5 g. (0.0574 mole) of triethylorthoformate was then added to a 50 ml. round bottom flask equipped with magnetic stir bar and reflux condenser. A solution of 0.25 g. (0.003 mole) ammonium nitrate was dissolved in 5 ml. of warm ethanol and added rapidly to the reaction mixture. The mixture was stirred for 6 hrs. at room temperature, neutralized with excess sodium carbonate, filtered, and the solvent removed under vacuum. The resulting oil (100% yield) had no residual aldehyde as determined by NMR. No further purification was needed.
