Participants

Reaction Steps

The solution of 9.1 g (0.03 mole) of 2-[2-ethoxy-2-phenyl-ethenyl]-1-pyrroline-tetrafluoroborate in 25 ml of diethylamine is refluxed for 12 hours; it is then processed analogously to Example 1 to yield crude 2-[2-(diethylamino)-2-phenyl-ethenyl]-1-pyrroline. By the addition of 2.8 g of methanesulphonic acid to the solution of the crude base in isopropanol, removal of the crystals by filtration and recrystallisation from isopropanol, there is obtained 2-[2-(diethylamino)-2-phenyl-ethenyl]-1-pyrroline-(1:1)-methanesulphonate, m.p. 143°-145° (decomposition).
