Sulfuric Acid → HCID 14303698, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 300 ml of toluene were added 7.4 g (0.030 mole) of 2-chloro-N-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylethaneimine, 5.2 g (0.030 mole) of ethyl phenylpropionate and 6.7 g (0.050 mole) of aluminum chloride. The reaction mixture was then heated under reflux for 20 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into 500 ml of 2N sulfuric acid, followed by extraction with chloroform. After washing the organic layer with 50 ml of a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and then with water, it was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. Subsequent to removal of the sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off and the residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (eluent: ethyl acetate) to yield 3-chloro-1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2,6-diphenyl-4(1H)-pyridinone having a melting point of 230°-233° C.
