4-Dodecylaniline → N-(p-dodecylphenyl)-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium triflate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2.3-g portion (0.005 mole) of 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium triflate is placed in a 500-ml round-bottom flask. To this, 200 ml of ethanol is added and then 1.3 g (0.005 mole) of p-dodecylaniline is added. The mixture is refluxed for about 20 hours. The ethanol is removed by evaporation to give a yellow waxy substance. This material is washed with ether which causes some yellow crystals to precipitate.
