Carbonic acid-guanidine (1:1) → HCID 86695818, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl-4-(3-dimethylaminomethylene-4-oxopiperidin-1-yl)-benzoate (3.00 g, 10.40 mmol) in EtOH (200 mL) was treated with guanidine carbonate (7.50 g, 41.60 mmol), followed by sodium acetate trihydrate (11.32 g, 83.20 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours and allowed to cool to room temperature. The insolubles were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate and the solid was filtered off, washed with water, ethyl acetate, and dried to give the title compound (258 mg). The filtered insoluble material from the reaction mixture was suspended in water, stirred for 30 minutes, and the remaining light yellow, amorphous solid was collected, washed with water, ethyl acetate, and dried to give an additional amount of the title compound (1.95 g, total yield 71%).
