Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7.5 g (38 mmol 6-(cyanacetamido) hexanoic acid was dissolved in 50 ml pyridine. 4.6 g (38 mmol) 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 0.7 ml (7 mmol) piperidine were added to the solution and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 50° C. A further aliquot of 0.4 ml piperidine was then added to the reaction and the solution was stirred at RT for 60 hours. The residue after evaporation of the pyridine was acidified with HCl (2N) and was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was poured into 300 ml of a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The aqueous layer was then carefully acidified with HCl (2N). The precipitated residue was filtered and washed with water. The dried product was crystallized from dioxane.
