HCID 1475992(2E)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Procedure

A solution of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanone (2.2 g, 13 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (25 ml) was heated to 120° C. in a sealed tube overnight. The volatiles were removed. The residue was dissolved in DCM and washed twice with H2O. The DCM layer was dried with MgSO4. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 100% EtOAc) to isolate (E)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (2.2 g,) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.99 (s, 3H), 3.23 (s, 3H), 5.70 (d, J=12.4 Hz, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=12.4 Hz, 1H), 8.03 (m, 2H), 8.26 (m, 2H). MS (ESI): 221 (M+H+)
