Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.7 g of 4-[2-(4-phthalimidomethylphenyl)ethenyl]benzonitrile in 100 ml of chloroform was added at room temperature slowly dropwise 30 ml of anhydrous methanol saturated with anhydrous hydrogen chloride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was stripped of the solvent under reduced pressure. Ether was added to the residue and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to yield 1.6 g of methyl 4-[2-(4-phthalimidomethylphenyl)ethenyl]benzimidate hydrochloride; m.p. 230°-234° C. (decomp.).
