4-Methylcyclohexanone → HCID 4546474, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of anhydrous ethanol were dissolved 35.4 g of p-diethylaminobenzaldehyde and 11.2 g of 4-methylcyclohexanone, and 20 ml of 10% ethanolic solution of sodium ethoxide was added dropwise to the resulting solution and the resulting mixture was subjected to reaction under reflux for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, and the crystals thus precipitated were collected by filtration, and then recrystallized from toluene, to obtain 30.2 g of 2,6-bis(4'-diethylaminobenzal)-4-methylcyclohexanone (m.p. 169° C.).
