Participants

Reaction Steps

9(p-Diethylaminophenyl)-9-methoxy-10-phenylacridan (12.0 g, 0.0276 mole) is slurried in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran while anhydrous hydrogen chloride is bubbled in with cooling. The hydrogen chloride is bubbled in until the slurry reaches a pH of 1.0 and a bright yellow color is obtained. The product is collected on a Buchner funnel, washed twice with 10 ml portions of tetrahydrofuran and dried at 50° C. to give 11.6 g (95.8% yield) of 9(p-diethylaminophenyl)-9-chloro-10-phenylacridan.
