Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 42, FIG. 7J.42: A suspension of 3,5-diacetylaniline (0.354 g) in methylene chloride (7 mL) containing 4-dimethylaminopyridine (5 mg) was treated with 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediyl diisocyanate (0.18 mL). After heating at reflux for 2 hr, the mixture was cooled. An aliquot was treated with t-butyl methyl ether to give seed crystals which were added to the reaction mixture. After stirring several hr, filtration gave 0.120 g of 1,5-bis[([(3,5-diacetylphenyl)-amino]carbonyl)amino]-2-methylpentane, mp 128° C. This tetraketone (0.100 g), aminoguanidine hydrochloride (0.115 g), and aminoguanidine dihydrochloride (3 mg) were heated in 95% ethanol (2.5 mL) for 18 hr. Cooling and filtration gave 0.16 g of 1,5-bis[([(3,5-diacetylphenyl)amino]carbonyl)amino]-2-methylpentane tetrakis(amidinohydrazone) tetrahydrochloride (Compound 42) as the tetrahydrate, mp 258-9° C.
