Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 1 L 4-necked round bottom flask was added 10.0 g (0.045 mol) of 10-methoxyiminostilbene, 150.0 ml of dichloromethane, 37.0 g (0.57 mol) of sodium cyanate and 15.0 g (0.13 moles) of maleic acid and stirred at room temperature. The contents were heated to reflux (40-45° C.) under vigorous stirring for about 6 to about 8 hours. After completion of the reaction (detected by TLC) the reaction mass was filtered and washed with 50.0 ml dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was washed with water (50.0 ml×2) and the layers were separated.
