Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 112438, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.0 g of 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide prepared as described in part A above, 100 ml of water, 3.5 g of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-m-phenylenediamine and 1.8 g of flake potassium hydroxide was heated at reflux with stirring for a period of approximately eighteen hours and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The resultant solution was made slightly acidic by the addition of ten percent aqueous hydrochloric acid causing a cream-colored solid to precipitate. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and air dried at 40° C. to obtain 2-[2,4,4'-tris(dimethylamino)benzhydryl]-5-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (Formula III: R=CH3 ; X=H; Y=4-(CH3)2NC6H4 ; Z=2,4-[(CH3)2N]2C6H3) as a slightly sticky, cream-colored solid melting over the range 119°-121° C.
