Participants

Reaction Steps

2.65 g (5.10-3 moles) of p-hexyl biphenyl-3-bromo-4-heptyl benzoate and 0.6 g (6.7×10-3 moles) of cuprous cyanide are introduced into 10 ml of dimethyl formamide. After the solution has been heated under reflux for 7.5 hours, it is cooled and poured into a mixture of 60 ml of deionized water and 5.5 ml of ethylene diamine. After stirring, the solution is extracted with ether. 2.2 g of crude product are obtained, being purified by chromatography on a column of silica, followed by recrystallization from ethanol. 1.6 g of pure product are obtained, corresponding to a yield of 66%.
